Why does Wall Street make love to engineering schools.
I go to a decent school, but only City and JP morgan have on campus recruitment. My school has an articulation agreement (if that's what they call them) with Polytechnic University. Their next year's career fair has GS, ML and MS attending. wtf is this they are ranked in the third tier by US news with a 75% acceptance rate. Nothing against engineering but MIT and Caltech ok but poly.

Polytechnic is right in New York so there's the ease-of-access factor but I still wouldn't worry too much about it considering they're most likely recruiting only for Operations and other back-office positions.

This begs the question: Are
This begs the question: Are the BBs recruiting engineering majors for front office because of their quant skills and work ethic, or for back office IT support jobs? I sure hope it's the former.
definately for back office.
definately for back office.
This might be a very small
This might be a very small portion, but I know a couple people from my HS that applied to this honor/scholarship program at Polytechnic. They also applied to top-20 universities' engineering programs. Those who didn't make it to their top choices (i.e. Columbia, Cornell..), got wait listed, or didn't get enough Fin Aid chose to go to Poly for free instead of some top-40 school.. so in a way you can argue that Poly does have some students that could have potentially attended a Target.
