NYU Stern is a good option, expensive but is great for finance. Wharton, UVA mcintire, UNC kenan flagler and Michigan ross are also good business schools (although you can go to a top school like Duke and be recruited with a liberal arts degree - majoring in business would give you an advantage though all things being equal). If you don't mind working in Tx or Ca then Mccombs Business Honors/Rice Managerial Studies or UC Berkeley Haas are good. For Chicago, UIUC has an investment banking concentration apparently for their finance majors and send a decent amount to the finance firms there. Hope this helps.

 

You sound like a Stern/Haas/Ross admit. Apply to Wharton, but don't bank on it.

I'd focus on Haas and Ross. Stern is a shitty undergrad experience, from everything I've heard from Stern kids. No campus. Hyper-competitive. Obscenely expensive. BAML stopped recruiting there, which has slipped under the radar, but I've heard they've had negative experiences with the SAs and the Stern alumni aren't really going to bat for the school, which isn't a HUGE deal but something to take under consideration. IMO, it's a cheap knock-off of Wharton. Also, everyone is ugly. Berkeley has that issue too, but you could go Greek and meet sorority girls. Can't at Stern. And before anyone says, "But New York has tons of hot girls!!!!!!" yes, they do, but those ladies aren't interested an in a 19 year old Stern undergrad. They're gonna go fuck a Goldman banker. Personally, I want college to be college. Parties. An actual campus. Random non-major classes for fun. Football games. Socializing. Not the WallStreetOasis wet dream of internships, networking, and preftige 24/7. To each his own, though. If that's what you want, Stern is perfect.

I'd also look into "normal" targets, like the Ivies, Duke, Stanford, etc. Undergrad business, from my experience, is a little overrated. The only thing you really need from your school is OCR from BBs and a decent alumni base in the industry. Beyond that, I wouldn't make a big deal out of the whole "which target is more target-y?" thing. Rhe answer is HYPW, and everyone else is about the same.

 

Haas is extremely difficult to enter as either OOS/international. I think we've had one international student in the last decade. Keep in mind UC's give preference to CCC and CA High schools over everyone else. NYU Stern is an excellent choice.
