Career Resources
From posts I’ve seen, U Mich = UVA > USC > ND > UF
UVA = UMich for NYC (UVA has more alumni in NYC working in "Investment Banking" on LinkedIn, but UMich has marginally better placements according to their career placements stats; regardless they are basically identical in placement as targets)
USC
Notre Dame
....
450
Look at the placements of UF's MSF program. A lot of the class went to RBC/Evercore. https://warrington.ufl.edu/master-of-science-in-finance/careers/student…
Those are impressive placements. It's an extremely small MSF program with only ~25-30 students. With a class that small there's no doubt they're getting a very tailored experience.
I looked at all of their LinkedIn profiles and they all had really good previous experience + were at the top of their class.
You're also comparing apples to oranges; OP is talking about undergrad not an MS program, and UF doesn't come close in that regard.
Mich/UVA USC/ND/UF MSF Dual Degree UF non-MSF Degree
Agree
Having 3 banks (Evercore/RBC/Suntrust) recruit on campus for IB does not put you on par with USC/ND If you look at just the top 1% of USC students, their placement blows this out of the water
I'd move ND up to second or even on par with Mich/UVA. USC had a huge issue a couple years back where the entire IB recruiting process jumped to sophomore spring and they were left in the dust. They've been playing catch up and are doing better now (sophomore treks to NYC, etc.). I've hired a number of ND candidates in recent years that were on par if not better than those I met from Ross/UVA.
