Cornell - How much of a target is the undergrad program?

Daniel T Bush:

as good as yale

it's always good to hear from an "analyst sorting through resumes"....which decribes u, right?

devin:

cornell grads are actually quite similar to us grads from harvard and wharton. for one, all of us got into Cornell.

lol

jgsim:

There's a lot of Cornell people on the street. The only thing I wonder is how easy is it to get a job coming from Cornell - how great is the supply of offers relative to the demand? My school (HYPS) is probably somewhat better represented than Cornell on Wall Street, but not hugely. However, my school is less than half the size of Cornell. It seems like there are plenty of positions to go around at my school, and I think that might be because we don't have a business school and there just isn't the huge demand for banking positions. There are plenty of them to go around.

Conversely, Cornell has a business school and is huge, but is still not better represented on Wall Street than my school is. So, I think there may be a lot of demand for banking positions at Cornell (especially due to the existence of the business school), but less supply than at schools like mine, where we have lower demand. So, it's probably harder to get a job if you're at Cornell than at HYPS or Wharton.

excellent point. im at Yale and the banking demand is much less than the law school demand

My NYSE:

I'd probably say it breaks down like this from undergrad. Don't quote me on it, and feel free to shoot it down.

1.) Wharton - rarified air from undergrad 2.) Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, etc. - best overall schools, no undergrad b-schools 3.) UVA, NYU, Michigan, etc. for business majors only - schools with a great reputation for undergrad business schools specifically but not the overall reputation of HYPS or the unique reputation of Wharton. 4.) Cornell, Brown, UChicago, etc. - Ivies or near-Ivies that don't have an undergrad business school and aren't quite HYPS in overall reputation.

williams and amherst can't be lower than uva, umich, nyu

I wouldn't know where to rank it, but every new analyst class has a pretty heavy Cornell prescence- 2 people out of my desk of 8 graduated from Cornell. Best of luck to you.

Alphagirl can you pm me I am trying to contact you but I can't pm yet

Cornell is a target for any major.

Cornell is the shit.

agreed

from two prospectives who clearly go to cornell

with that being said, cornell is recruited fairly heavily by every BB..from friends who go there, it is competitive and AEM kids get a lot of the jobs, but keep a high gpa and know your shit and youll be fine

Cornell is the best state school in America.

i'm wondering where s&t recruits more from, aem or econ/math? i know iambateman, you said most slots are reserved for aem, so thats for s&t?

i just know from friends who go there that AEM kids seem to get most of the jobs, however econ/math seems like a good combination for an s&T candidate

someone who goes/went to cornell can prob provide better color

AEM is the best place to be if you want to do any form of ibanking including S&T. It gets recruited the most, is relatively easy compared to other majors (econ/math would be much harder to get high grades in), and has the most relavent classes such as Derivatives, Fixed Income, Securities Trading, Investments, Capital Valuation, Portfolio Management, etc.

oh. fuck yase. AEM? your in buddy.

What about ILR (industrial labor relations)? I'm thinking about transferring to Cornell spring term of next year. Any insights on whether people get recruited from there?
