Good Public Schools to Get a Degree for I-Banking?

I know that the top four actively recruit at the big schools (Wharton, UChicago, etc), But I want to know if they recruit at the schools with less prestige (states schools like the UCS, UVA, etc) and if they do, how active are they?

Northeastern is ranked far too low in my opinion. Here is how I'd see it, for ibanking at least.

Wisconsin

Bentley Northeastern (really an upcoming school and quickly gaining credibility)

Rochester (I think they are only known for their sciences, could be wrong) Uconn Case Western Suny Bing Michigan State Iowa

 
Husky32Thanks brahs; for reach schools whats harder to get into NYU Stern, Cornell/Brown or Columbia? I've got a 4.0 at a school at the level of University of Missouri thus far and have a 2100 SAT

Based on those stats, the only real "reach" would probably be Columbia. I had the exact same stats and transferred Ivy as an incoming sophomore. You've already proved your clout with college work, so NYU, Cornell, and Brown would all be within reach. I feel as though the transfer deadline has passed for all of them though...

Your GPA and SAT are competitive but, as you prob know, they are not the only factors for admission. For Cornell, it gets tricky with the prerequisite classes and which school you are applying to. You might also want to consider UPenn - transfer friendly.
