Wake Forest vs. Southern Methodist
Which school would be better for landing a job and also for the basis for a career in finance?





i dont know much about wake
i dont know much about wake forest, other than its location... and on that basis SMU by a mile. Strong old money network and Dallas has a strong hedge fund/alt asset community. Also some of the finest college tail in all the land.
Winston-Salem is in the boonies and the ACC, with a few exceptions doesn't tend to do very well in the looks department.
SMU. I met one kid from Wake
SMU. I met one kid from Wake during NYC BB recruiting and even he acknowledged he was an anomaly. Met more SMU kids, and if you're into a college scene, better there too. Complete old money network, it's the good ol' boys down there and no one else.
A lot of people do certain things to add days to their life. I do things to add life to my days.
SMU.
SMU.
Is SMU above Mccombs too?

I had a guy helping with the
I had a guy helping with the Energy Rodeo in PE from WF but he was not the norm. He said its a mixed bag but people do well in that region. SMU does well in sending people to Dallas firms and Houston however its not UT Honors.
I did not go to either so all from what I have heard from others

Pretty much every BB IBank
Pretty much every BB IBank and some top boutiques recruit from McCombs. I can't say the same for SMU. If you have the option of SMU or McCombs definitely take McCombs and keep in mind Austin is considered to have the best night life for college kids in the U.S with 6th street being right around the corner.
SMU has connections to some
SMU has connections to some of the biggest players in the game, every major BB has a dallas office branch. While SMU isn't the best choice for IBD it is a great place to go to school to find a hot ass girl with a rich daddy. In my view that is the ultimate win.
Follow the shit your fellow monkeys say @shitWSOsays
are you all kidding? Wake
are you all kidding? Wake Forest without a doubt. Better business school, better overall school. It's name and it's ranking are only increasing.
Have worked with guys from
Have worked with guys from both. SMU guy was a rock star and WF guy more than held his own. If people from semi-targets like that make it to front office gigs, it's usually safe to assume they're more than capable. But to the topic of this thread, the schools are probably equal for networking, with SMU having a slight advantage due to Dallas/Houston BBs.
