I'm nowhere near a bank but I guess so. But there seems like a bunch of people from non targets as well. Most people on here are non targets I think(not taking any shots, just saying).
Decent distribution from all over, with some overrepresentation of the 'top' targets - Harvard, Penn (Wharton specifically), Stanford(west coast).
These are the true targets by pure quantity:
Wharton, Cornell, Georgetown, Michigan, NYU Stern, and UVA
Ranked somewhat in order of #'s
In terms of % representation, it pretty much follows the US News college rankings to a tee
Some schools with above-expected good representation: BYU (GS loves their Mormons), Berkeley (west coast), Penn State, Bentley, Baruch (JPM), UT (Houston obvz)
Common misnomer: most MIT or Stanford EE / CS kids take Google/MSFT/AMZN, tech startup, or HF / VC offers over banking offers anyday (not that they even bother to apply).
Fuck I'm drunk
Yep. Don't forget Facebook/Twitter. They're hiring like crazy too.
I would argue that Bentley and Baruch are much more MO and BO office positions
