UNC or Emory.

Go to Vandy (wealthiest undergrads in the country) marry a hot southern belle with a trust fund, and never work a day in your life.

Some good comments in this thread on Wake Forest for investment banking: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/wake-forest-investment-banking-re…
Emory, not even close.
UNC. You'll have the time of your life and the weather and basketball are awesome. The recruiting is good from UNC and you'll find that alums are incredibly receptive. The undergraduate business school is one of the best in the country. Bottom line, the people are going to be more fun, down to earth, and better looking at UNC, you'll get a great education, and the recruiting is solid enough to ensure you a spot at a top BB if you can cut it.
Emory
UNC - a few grads will be in my IBD analyst class. They have a strong alumni base who love helping out.
I'd say just definitely not Wake Forest. The others are relatively close and have their own strengths and weaknesses. UNC is probably best, but they're close enough you should choose the one you like (not Wake though).
UNC or vandy
Dude, the thread is a decade old. That guy is like a vp by now.

Wake actually places pretty darn well, especially for it's size. GS, JP, Barclays, BofA, WF, and others. Only approx 100 fin majors per class and around 50 go in to banking each yr. Many in NY. Both IB and S&T. I'm sure the other schools are great too. If you want actual data, go to their website and look at the placement (Office of Career and Personal Development - Where Deacs Go)
According to Emory Goizueta Business School published data, 38% of the BBA graduates entered financial service industry, and 21% of the graduates entered consulting business.
A lot of these people do commercial banking. Risk management. Big 4 (I.e. Kpmg) consulting just FYI. Not bad jobs but these aren’t all IB or MBB/T2 placements.
Personal Opinion, will say all of these are semi-targets with solid placement
UNC in-state
Vandy
UNC Out-Of-State / Emory
Wake Forest
UNC OOS non-legacy / connections is one of the toughest admits out there. Not every bank will come to you, but when you do get into processes people will assume you could've gone anywhere.
