In UK LSE!
I dont know about US... But LSE is one of the most, if not the most, heavily recruited place in the UK no doubt.
internationally I would have to say LSE by quite some way. I got into both Northwestern and LSE, and went to LSE, largely because it has a great rep across the world along with oxbridge from the UK. In the UK it is crazily recruited, take a look at this: http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/graduateDestinations/DLHE/factsAndFigu… c. 1/4 of my graduating class went into some sort of professional field!
LSE Northwestern Georgetown/Carnegie Mellon GWU
For undergrad at GWU only ML, BS, LB, and GS have any sort of recruiting on campus. BS and ML have the only full scale recruiting for all divisions. I work for a differnt BB investment bank (and got several other job offers from other BB I-Banks). Decent school with decent recognition, but definetely not a target school. Professors and classes are definetely lacking compared to more well recognized schools. Ratul's ranking above is correct.
ratul is right on the money
For undergrad trading in the US I think ratul's rankings are a bit off.
Every major bank, save Lehman, recruits at CMU in addition to DE Shaw, Citadel, and a few other funds. I work on a pretty respectable trading floor and I do not know very many people from Northwestern or Georgetown, and non from GWU. Our London branch naturally has a ton of people from LSE.
georgetown > CMU
Dear Mark K,
You are a tool.
northwestern is recruited for SA positions from most of the BBs. this includes new york and chicago offices.
Ratul's rankings are correct. Georgetown and CMU share that second to last position. If you are considering i-banking jobs, Georgetown wins out. If you are considering S&T jobs, CMU wins out. If you can't get a job out of those first 4 schools, any of those 4 schools (except GWU), there's something wrong with you, not your school's recruiting.
LSE represent!! If you want to work in London or anywhere in Europe for that matter I would go to LSE hands down. If you want to work in New York however; I would think that a good US school would make more sense; this is mainly due to location. I would work in the Citi over the Street any day though, so go for LSE.
I want to work now! No, really. I want those 100+ hours/week.Consequuntur dolore et neque omnis soluta beatae quod. Molestiae culpa fuga molestiae quia repellendus dignissimos possimus. Ipsa sapiente fugit nobis corporis consequuntur temporibus. Enim facere nulla voluptate magni quia architecto.
