You'd be surprised how many Partners/Portfolio Managers/MDs there are on the street who went to none of the schools above (ie didn't even make it onto your "ranking").
I think the Y,S, and M overrated in HYPSM
Georgetown, Notre Dame, NYU, and UVA all have more representation on the street than some of the A tier schools.
you are such a loser it is embarrassing
Lol I can see someone's going to Michigan, no way you think they're in the same tier as Columbia or Penn
Congrats on Michigan
I’ve never met a Caltech alumni who was interested in IB or finance ig except for one guy who went on to become a quant at Five Rings.
Congrats on Michigan bro!!!
Congrats on Chicago bro
Thanks!
Add Ivey to B tier
LMFAO, he actually goes to Michigan, check out his post history. All of those B tier schools just as good or better than Michigan, Caltech, and Brown.
Michigan is a trash school. Let me clear it up for you:
S: Harvard, Princeton, Wharton, Stanford
A: Columbia, UChicago, MIT, Yale
B: Brown, UPenn, Caltech
C: Dartmouth, Cornell, Stern
D: Georgetown, Northwestern, JHU, Notre Dame
F: All else
Congrats on Chicago/columbia bro. No way they are on MIT and Yale level.
Btw I don’t even go to Michigan
Ah you’re probably to stupid to know what UChicago is you’re one of those people who thinks Stanford is an Ivy lol
Princeton lower. Otherwise seems fine.
I’d put Harvard in Tier B. A lot of people get Harvard undergrad mixed up with HBS, which is god-tier.
😂😂😂😂
Agreed, especially on the HFT/quant side of things. Don't know about HBS for quant though, don't think it's a common exit for HBS grads anyways, we mostly take PhDs at the graduate level.
Not another one of these stupid threads.
Imo Michigan is legit only worth it for either absurdly rich people or Michigan residents
Didn’t make the list 😎
Lmao, Michigan and UVA will never be on par with JHU, Northwestern, or Vanderbilt.
Bro tried to sneak UVA in there, congrats on the BofA offer
thought the “M” stood for MIT—kudos on Mich bro
Can the mods just ban all the people shirt posting these stupid tier lists every day
You made 2 threads for this bro. Anyway I think another comment on one of the other threads is pretty accurate. Im just copy pasting it.
Most recently, I'd say:
1: Wharton, Harvard, Yale, Princeton
2: Stanford, MIT, Penn (non-Wharton), Columbia, Dartmouth, Duke, Brown, NYU Stern
3: Cornell, Georgetown, Williams, Amherst, NYU (Non-stern), Michigan (Ross)
4: Vanderbilt, Michigan (non-Ross), Northwestern, WashU, Berkeley, Emory, Hopkins, UVA, UNC
the other one was pretty elaborate and probably better than this
I would put
S tier: HYPSM + Wharton
A+- Columbia, Penn, Duke, Dartmouth, UChicago
A tier: Georgetown, Brown, Cornell, NYU Stern
B+ tier: Michigan, Berkeley, Williams, Amherst, Notre Dame, UVA
B tier- Northwestern(debatable between B+/B), Vanderbilt, Emory, Johns Hopkins, WashU, Middlebury, Rice
C+ Tier- UT Austin(debatable between B/C+), UNC(debatable between B/C+), Boston College, Washington and Lee, Hamilton, CMU
C Tier- Wake Forest, IU Kelley, Villanova, William and Mary, Tufts, SMU
