Top LACs?
What are the top liberal arts schools for recruiting besides Williams and Amherst? I’ve heard a lot about just Williams and Amherst, but nothing about others.

When it comes to LAC recruiting (from east coast LACs, I don't know much about west coast), it's really Williams>Amherst>>>>>>everyone else. The next best would probably be Middlebury, Tufts, Colby, and schools like that, but they are far and away below Williams/Amherst when it comes to recruiting.
Also to expand on this, these schools have solid reputations, it's more just that banks don't target them during recruiting (hence the term). A place like Middlebury or Bowdoin is more prestigious than many banking semi-targets, but it just isn't worth the banks time to recruit from them due to their locations, small student body size, and general lack of interest in finance. There are absolutely alumni in finance, and they are generally very helpful, but you will have to seriously hustle for opportunities. No one is going to throw your resume in the trash because it is from a NESCAC school, but its on you to make sure your resume ends up in front of them. I go to a NESCAC so feel free to follow up with questions.
