I am admitted to Hamilton College. They aren’t the highest rank LAC but supposedly have a decent recruiting record. I am wondering if they are seen as a target school for IB?

Semi ish target - will have to recruit ur ass off but chilling if the boy + points if ur on a sports team
Decent pipeline to DB given the head of US IB is a Hamilton alum. Not much of a presence at other BBs/EBs/top MMs–I know of a few recent people who were able to but they had to work like crazy or had strong networks from things outside of Hamilton (elite prep school, family connections, etc).
Ceo of gs went to Hamilton. Why don't you use that to set some fire under your seat. Good luck
If you're posting on this website in high school you'll probably be fine wherever you go. Get a finance related internship/job this summer before you start school and explore transfer options after your first semester if you don't love Hamilton.
Be social and meet people. They will get you your job
Great school, just network be social do the groundwork the years leading up, etc. Like someone said above, if you’re already on here you are doing something right. Go get em.
Thanks everyone. If it’s between Fordham and Hamilton, assuming I’ll enjoy both, which one has a better track record/chance of me making it.
It’s Hamilton by a mile
Fordham alum here - go Hamilton
