I am going to select schools?!?

Can someone tell me which schools are most recruited for investment banking/private equity? I am going to go back to school (I am 31 and never graduated, but have about 3 or 4 semesters left).

UT Austin UCLA Stanford or any other ones in Southern California?

I am either going to move down to Austin or somewhere in SoCal and need advice or where to go?

thanks!

Stanford is in Northern California, so if you're moving to SoCal cross it off your list.

Also, they only take about 20 transfers per year, and you missed the application round so I don't think that's really an option for you.
