IB guaranteed
Are there any colleges where getting a IB job at top tier BB (GS MS JPM) or EB is as close to guaranteed as possible?
Some schools have insane clubs with 2-5% acceptance rates, but if you’re not in those clubs what happens then?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, no college can truly "guarantee" a top-tier BB (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan) or EB (PJT, Evercore, Centerview, etc.) job. However, certain target schools significantly increase your chances due to their strong alumni networks, on-campus recruiting, and access to elite finance clubs.
For example: - Ivy League schools (Harvard, Wharton, Princeton, etc.) and other top-tier institutions like Stanford, MIT, and UChicago are known for their strong placement in IB. - Clubs at these schools, such as finance or investment banking societies, often have extremely low acceptance rates (2-5%), but they provide unparalleled networking opportunities and preparation for interviews.
If you're not in these clubs, your chances may decrease, but it's not impossible. Networking, maintaining a high GPA, securing relevant internships, and leveraging alumni connections can still help you break into IB. Many students from target schools who aren't in these clubs still land roles at BBs or EBs through persistence and strategic networking.

To be honest with you, if you go to any top 20 school, and are set on doing IB from when you step into college, it’s all pretty achievable
surprising tbh
no school has enough spots for everyone interested to get top 3 BB/EB though, even wharton
yeah that makes more sense
if u go to a t20, u will get a banking offer if youre not a complete dud / dont get very unlucky
