Undergrad schools on the rise for finance

I was wondering which undergrad colleges for a career in finance/IB are underrated?(excluding schools already established on Wall Street like UMich, NYU, Northwestern, etc) Which colleges do you think may reach top/higher rankings in the next 10 or so years? For example, USC used to be mainly known as a party school but has grown into a great, well-known college for business.  

 

Carnegie Mellon - most do engineering but seeing more and more of its business kids in wall street

Davidson- see more kids from this school albeit being liberal arts

Baruch - never thought of them as good school but saw quite a few from here

 

Placements from selective STEM oriented schools (schools like CMU/WashU/Emory and to a lesser extent schools like Georgia Tech/BU) have been improving significantly and will likely continue to do so as more and more alumni enter the industry.

 

Cornell for sure, we now have OCR for 2 bulges and 3 top MMs. Hard to beat that

 

Libero impedit magnam quia facilis autem nesciunt et. Rerum in non aut autem commodi. Facilis et qui ullam est aspernatur doloribus. Debitis ut magni eos quasi.
