Best Target Universities
Hello, I am a high school sophomore with a 4.0 unweighted GPA, and have various extracurriculars. I have begun searching for universities that will most likely yield a FO job at a BB. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for top target universities, preferably on the east coast. Thanks
Srsly
For the love of all that is human tell me you are joking
A. You aren't confirmed acceptance with an unweighted 4.0 and a few extracurriculars. There are many derivatives too LOL.
B. It's not hard to search up "Target Schools" on this, very website.
Very true.

Haven't done much research regarding Baruch but it's definitely a very strong option.
Since everyone here has been fairly mocking with the derision that you (probably) deserve, I will try to be helpful. If you are deadset on finance, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Wharton are all top tier and will give you opportunities anywhere. After that (and this may be a subject of debate) will come many schools that are recruitment targets in the sense that all the big players recruit on campus, but are not so prestigious that they will guarantee you a foot in the door anywhere. Duke, Ross, Georgetown, UVA, Vanderbilt, etc.
That being said, if you really are a 4.0 HS student that may be interested in the area, you shouldn't have to be told that the best way to get into a target school is to apply to each and every one of them.
I have definitely been considering many of the options you suggested. I've heard lots of positive results from UVA grads as well as Georgetown.
All these schools will make breaking into an FO a breeze if you're on your shit from day 1, also maybe you should look at how your question could be perceived by others lol:
Harvard Yale Princeton Wharton Columbia MIT Stanford UChicago Cornell AEM Duke Cal UVA UMich Georgetown NYU
Other schools that would be easy to shine at: Williams, Amherst, Notre Dame, USC, UCLA, Vandy, Emory, Northwestern
These are what are most broadly referred to as the target schools
