princeton
this feels true to me; most people i’ve met from princeton have been palpably sharp
Per capita? Probably Princeton or Dartmouth. For how small they are, they send a large amount into top buy-side shops. Princeton sends an unbelievable amount to quant shops too.
Probably Darty
Darty party
I want to caution you that correlation =/= causation. A lot of these grads have family connections and that’s how they break in. The connections, not the school was the difference. Per capita might not be the best way to analyze this.
Ehhhh not really... Dartmouth alumni are very motivated and pull hard for Dartmouth kids, I would imagine the same goes for Princeton and other schools mentioned here.
Almost all of my friends who are going into finance from Dartmouth have no family connections, it’s literally the rabid alumni network and OCR that places tons of kids. It’s really not selection bias in favor of MDs’ kids, it’s that finance is popular and that alumni are insane.
Agreed. Princeton has the highest alum give back rate, Darty 3rd I think (Williams is second?) Alum from those school care about their kids and pull for them hard
would also add top NESCACs do well for those interested in finance, the relative size of those interested is just smaller
At HY. From my peers, I'd say Princeton/Darty do well because of the very large portion interested in finance compared to the size of their schools, probably followed by H/Y (H probably has a higher % of kids interested in finance, but it is a chunk bigger than Y, so it's probably a tossup?), then Wharton, then Stanford/Columbia/Duke type places, then your Browns/Cornells/Georgetowns
Graduated from P a couple of years ago, and I'd say P does not have many interested in finance at all compared to my friends at H (Y less than both from what I understand), but high % placement because of the number of spots available and our alum

Why do you and your friends talk about stupid things like that in the first place anyway.....
Would think Stanford would be up there because they probably have access to both West Coast and East Coast recruiting channels and out of the 4 or 5 tippy top schools, it's probably the one with the least amount of kids interested in IB. This is just considering opportunities, not taking into account alumni strength at places like Pton or Dartmouth.
UChicago- ridiculous to see their placement across all offices over the past couple of years.
