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.

Your name in the interview process

Does your name play a role in getting an interview/offer. There were studies done that cincluded basically that white sounding names get more interviews than their non white counterparts. They probably used black/hispanic names but my case is a little different. My name is not all that common when you google first and last you get 5 hits and when you google just the last name you get 4500 =/.

For those of us who don't go to targets, is it a good idea to stay another year to fatten up the resume? Adding more school activities and/or an extra summer of internships will help right?

Internships/Full time offers in fields other than IB

I know that this forum is primarily concerned with IBD. What about buy-side and S/T, research are those jobs easier to get than IB? I go to a non-target (not in US news top universities) in NYC double majoring in math/econ. My dream job would be AM, are AM internships less competitive than IB? What about consulting and BIg4 advisory can you rank them in terms of competitiveness?
