Final Transfer Decision

UVA and Michigan both get better recruiting than Emory and Wesleyan... doesn't matter if you're not in the business school, you can still take advantage of the school's network.

U.Mich and UVA tons are on the street.

I think he meant Michigan State and not actually University of Michigan. I'm not sure about the presence of either in finance, but I think that he made a prudent choice for the long-term in deciding to go between Emory and Wesleyan. Of the two, I think Wesleyan.

Wesleyan is a very interesting school because of the type of students it attracts, but perhaps that's part of the charm. It is a fantastic school and is extremely diverse. I know a bunch of kids end up in finance out of there, whether it is a product of their own personal/family connections is a different story. End of the day though, if you're motivated and do well there you will end up with a good job. Off the top of my head I know kids in the past few years have landed IBD, BA at McKinsey, etc.

I was accepted to Wes for UG, but decided to go elsewhere. Those are all great schools to transfer into. Congrats!

OP here, I got into University of Michigan not Michigan State. Like I said, I want a smaller private education, I am not only transferring because of my hope to get into IBD but also because I do not like the largeness of my state school.

My draw towards Emory is its strong Greek life and access to major metropolitan area (Atlanta isn't NYC/LA/Chi/Boston but its still a major city and probably fun to be near whereas Wesleyan is in the middle of nowhere).

I've heard Wesleyan is full of a bunch of leftist weirdos but open curriculum and notorious grade inflation with little competition for banking sounds enticing.

I'm having a hard time choosing lol
