Wake Forest vs. SMU for finance (ibanking, PE)

i dont know much about wake forest, other than its location... and on that basis SMU by a mile. Strong old money network and Dallas has a strong hedge fund/alt asset community. Also some of the finest college tail in all the land.

Winston-Salem is in the boonies and the ACC, with a few exceptions doesn't tend to do very well in the looks department.

SMU. I met one kid from Wake during NYC BB recruiting and even he acknowledged he was an anomaly. Met more SMU kids, and if you're into a college scene, better there too. Complete old money network, it's the good ol' boys down there and no one else.

SMU.

Is SMU above Mccombs too?

^^NO.

I had a guy helping with the Energy Rodeo in PE from WF but he was not the norm. He said its a mixed bag but people do well in that region. SMU does well in sending people to Dallas firms and Houston however its not UT Honors.

I did not go to either so all from what I have heard from others

Pretty much every BB IBank and some top boutiques recruit from McCombs. I can't say the same for SMU. If you have the option of SMU or McCombs definitely take McCombs and keep in mind Austin is considered to have the best night life for college kids in the U.S with 6th street being right around the corner.

SMU has connections to some of the biggest players in the game, every major BB has a dallas office branch. While SMU isn't the best choice for IBD it is a great place to go to school to find a hot ass girl with a rich daddy. In my view that is the ultimate win.

are you all kidding? Wake Forest without a doubt. Better business school, better overall school. It's name and it's ranking are only increasing.
