Dartmouth>Brown>Tufts=Emory
right but are they nowhere as close to cornell, UVA, etc?
troll.
you might as well ask MIT, Stanford - are they as good as NYU STERN OMG THEY'RE NOT FINANCE!!!
Dartmouth is better than Cornell or UVA. Brown is right around those two schools. The other two are beneath them.
no, I'm not trolling. Actually curious. I mean, they are all great schools, so I'd really like to know if Brown, which is great, places.has more kids on the street, for example,then UVA>
cornell and dartmouth are excellent, cornell does very well with recruiting and from my friends who go there dartmouth sends more kids to BBs/PE/HF per capita than almost any other school. plus for both schools there's less competition for spots since kids are less gung-ho on finance. heard good things about emory.
tufts is a better school (as in better student body) than NYU or UVA but doesn't place well from what i've seen
i'd say dartmouth>cornell>NYU stern/UVA mcintire>NYU/UVA>Tufts for recruiting only
answered my question, thanks man.
I don't know if you are choosing a school to go to, but I think it's telling that Brown and Tufts do not have a business school. Nor do they have anything that resembles an undergrad business program. They're good schools, but if you're trying to place into IBD, not the right places.
neither do williams, amherst, etc. also, harvard, yale, princeton, stanford, etc. don't have ug business programs, and they are great.
but i'd agree that brown and tufts are great schools that don't do well for IBD
Why would this be considered trolling?
Brown FTW.
Tufts is not good for IBD recruiting. A couple banks go and interview, but only about 5 kids each. Career Services is not focused on finance there. I knew a couple kids that landed great IBD jobs but it was almost all from good networking.
