Glad to see a lot more state school kids breaking in over the past few years
del
what about UCLA,USC,washington, and oregon
pac12 slop
Is this ragebait??
what about it
1)Wisconsin is on a similar tier as UIUC
2) Penn state and rutgers are worse than UIUC and IU (non workshop) .....IU and UIUC place well in chicago
3) Minnesota >>> Maryland>>>Purdue > MSU..... Minnesota is a core school for Minneapolis offices, and Purdue is a Non-Target.
lol. Ik u defo went to rutgers
Wisco
Rutgers and PSU placed incredibly well this cycle, can see it across this forum
Wisconsin should be in A or S. Minnesota will always place a handful in Minneapolis across Piper Sandler, Lazard (MM), Houlihan Lokey (Industrials + RX), Harris Williams (Food & Beverage), and BMO (MM) not to mention a handful of solid boutiques with Northborne Partners and Hennepin Partners. Any motivated student will land at any of these if they put in the work.
Swap S with A and bump Wisconsin up a tier
The correct order^
Switch MSU with Purdue? Maybe move Purdue even lower. I’ve at least worked with someone from MSU. I’ve never met anyone from Purdue in the industry that wasn’t 50+ — good engineering school but I assume finance isn’t a big focus
Agreed - put Purdue higher without realizing just because of overall brand name
iu IBW needs to go down lmao
I think IU as a whole is very overrated, but there's no denying the success of the IBW, placements across NYC/CHI, and EBs/BBs/MMs consistently
Why is Wisco B tier? Should be A
OSU had amazing placements this cycle
