From my experience (Mostly S&T)

Georgetown: Strongly Brown: Not many (probably also function of not many wanting to go to Wall Street) Yale: Moderately Michigan (not Ross): Only seen Ross and MFinEng NYU (not Stern): Only seen Stern UNC: Haven't come across any not BOA or Wachovia University of Washington: Never come accross (do you mean WUSTL??) Cornell: Strongly

Jack: They’re all former investment bankers who were laid off from that economic crisis that Nancy Pelosi caused. They have zero real world skills, but God they work hard. -30 Rock
 
diamondnon ross michigan kids are hustlers, a lot of them get placement, some at great firms. I know a kid who just placed into william blair and one to jpm
Yeah, people seem to think there's a bad stigma to not being in the business school at a school that offers an undergraduate one, but placement rate will be pretty even, in my opinion. The reason there aren't as many kids from the College of Arts & Sciences at these places is purely because fewer of these kids actually want to do banking. If there are ones that do, they will put in the work and use the business school's resources every bit as well as if not better than the business school kids do. I'd say this goes for Penn, NYU (to a lesser degree), Georgetown, Cal, Texas, Michigan and Emory.
 

U of Washington places 1, maybe 2, kids on wall street every year. More of an accounting/consulting biased campus. Very under represented on wall street

Just out of curiousity because I went to one of the schools I'm about to mention and did get into IB. What's the consensus on these southern schools -

Duke, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, University of Florida, University of Georgia

1st 4 are very well respected with Duke basically being the only target for all of the banks. Vandy is a semi-target where a couple of BB's recruit and some southern banks. Not sure if there is OCR at Ga Tech or WF but I would assume not much outside of WF/BofA Charlotte and places like Suntrust, BB&T, etc. Could be wrong though.

 

G'town is well represented in accounting and midlevel supervisor type roles in a few non BB banks as well as the SEC, FED, etc.
