LAC or NYU for IB recruiting
I just got into Middlebury College today. I'm excited I got in, but the deadline to decide on my admission to NYU Shanghai is today. I know Middlebury College is one of the LACs the recruit well for investment banking(31 on the Peakframeworks list). I also know NYU is one of the best for IB recruiting, but I don't know how to feel about Shanghai campus. I do know they have recieved offers for IB after talking to their career services office. I am also an African American student, and I do not know how to feel about the whole new language and very different demographics. I don't know which one to choose please help.
NYU
Take Middlebury. NYU Stern is the target school, not the other NYUs. Also, Middlebury places well, and the alumni are very tight-knit. I am an LAC grad, and you can always reach out to other top LAC kids, and people will respond the vast majority of the time. I think LACs are very unique in how fiercely loyal alumni are and how much they will bat for you, which also has a lot of really nice downstream effects when you're a senior in high finance, especially when you go to one with as many alums as Midd. I think people on forums like this miss the forest for the trees often, which is not really there fault b/c this forum is largely made up of juniors. However, I think in the long-run Middlebury is a better choice and maybe even in the short-run as Middlebury is still a target for many firms whilst NYU Stern is the target school, not NYU as a whole.
Note: Will say if Stern, evaluate differently. Stern has a very positive reputation on the street, and although alums aren't as fiercely loyal as Middlebury or any LAC, I think Stern alums have more camaraderie than just broader NYU alum. For instance, know multiple senior bankers who are Stern grads who want to hire from Stern only but neccassirly just NYU and know comparatively few that want just NYU grads when responding to networking emails or pushing for people.
Unless you play mid lax (which happens to be mid), they will not “bat” for you. Be an athlete and reap the rewards
Note true buddy
You didn't even know what St. Albans was and keep making threads complaining about your "target" school, what the hell do you know about Middlebury? Non-athlete at a similar NESCAC and nobody cares. The majority of people might have played a sport, but that's just how these schools work when ~40% of the students are athletes.
Everyone still responds to you—it's up to you to see what firms have the most connections to Midd and network accordingly. I recommend looking at what seniors have done in the past and just reach out to them. At a small school, you've probably seen them around campus and they are more than happy to guide you.
