BC or BU for IB?
I have heard some differing opinions online so I am curious. I know neither are high end targets.

I go to BU. From my understanding, BC places better if you can get into the clubs. Also keep in mind div/nondiv when looking at placements. Overall would say BC's alumni network is stronger.
I'd also consider your college experience, they are two very different schools with different cultures overall IMO. Can also speak on BU more it's not bad but you really have to grind.
what are bu placements like?
We had a solid year this year I think. Handful of BB/EB placements, but most are in balance sheet banks or MMs. I would say 20-30 people got something, I think 50-75 went and recruited. Most people who took the process seriously got something but ik a few who got really unlucky and are still on the grind
hmm what kinda ebs this year?
BC places better. I know of people(albeit not a lot but there are some) from BC but from BU…. None.
