I'm terms of those interested landing BB offers, does H/S/W win, or does Brown do better? Since Brown has a fraction of the number students actually interested in banking compared to H/S/W, do they actually have a higher rate of success?

trolling like a mf
Not sure why you are getting MS lol
me neither lmao must be OP on his alternate accounts
I would not say that Stanford has more students interested in banking compared to Brown - probably the same
Okay, ignore Stanford.
Your best bet for IB is community college or art school. Almost no one else will be interested in banking.
I can confirm, I got accepted into a state school and the community college near me had at least 50 people get into NY IB my freshman year. It’s ridiculous how much bankers love the stupid and poor story.
Janitor for the IB floor doesn't count
I do see some value in your question though. If you attend an incredibly prestigious school that is not a traditional finance feeder (maybe like an MIT) but has presence from many firms, there may be more opportunities in terms of getting into finance clubs on campus, getting value out of networking events, etc. At my school, there will be 50-70 kids that show up to a Bain Cap, KKR or GS/MS OCR event. At Penn, it'll be 700.
Building on this, would you say you have a better chance of getting into the MS/GS from Wharton or a lower ivy?
