I don't think Tulane places well in finance or consulting. I can't recall anyone from my class that placed into IB or consulting when I graduated...

I felt like most people who had jobs at graduation were going to Big 4 audit. There were one or two people that networked their own way into sales & trading. Anything you do there will have to be networking on your own.

 

It’s weird that really selective schools like Tulane (13% acceptance rate last year) are almost complete non-targets while state schools like University of Florida and PennState have programs that literally do most of the work of networking and job placement for you and end up placing almost all the students in that program in banking.

 

Tulane also skews their admissions data by having people who clearly should not be applying there apply. Tulane is not a selective school.

 

no offense to Tulane but admissions rate is totally artificial... pander to kids who wont get in to decrease admissions rate while most people aiming for T20 schools don't bother applying

 
Funniest

yup, tulane is for rich kids who want to party on daddys dime but still have the illusion of going to a prestigous school

 

Maybe it has changed since I was there, but ya there are a couple people who make it into IB and you're kind of digging deep by throwing down TD. There was definately no on campus presence from any IBs for any roles and people had to do their own networking.

I think it was really a self selection issue. Most people at Tulane came from well off famillies and didn't see the point of grinding in finance post-undergrad. Its a good school, but the majority of students are just not motivated.
