Wall Street Undergrad Prestige Ranking/Tierlist
Not a target tierlist in terms of placement, but simply in terms of what does someone on WS think of a person from x school.
A: Harvard, Wharton, Princeton
B: Yale, Stanford, MIT, Caltech, Oxford, Cambridge
C: Columbia, Chicago, Penn, Johns Hopkins, Dartmouth, Imperial College London
D: Northwestern, Stern, Duke, Brown, Cornell, Williams, UCL, LSE
E: UVA, Michigan, Berkeley, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Amherst, Warwick
F: UT McCombs, USC Marshall, Rice, Kelley, Vanderbilt, Emory, WashU, Claremont McKenna, Pomona
G: Swarthmore, UCLA, Penn State, Rutgers, Baruch, Purdue, UIUC, Miami, Haverford
This list is not arguable/final and does not require your plebian input as I attended Phillips Exeter Academy.
Would bring Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, and Imperial down one, bring Duke, Stern, Northwestern, LSE up one, combine tiers A and B, bring Cornell down one, UCL down one, Swarthmore up one.
attended andover
cornell being a top core for evr, jpm, ms, bx alone define a tier C or D here at the very least. Please do some easy research on LinkedIn, prospect in IB-Cov
have had many family friends in the industry openly look down on cornell. I'm sure placements are just fine but this post was about reputation so I indexed off that.
Congrats on Princeton!
Prospective monkeys can rest well knowing this is what their competition spends time doing
OP is a current senior at Phillips Exeter got into Dartmouth for ED who is diagnosed with inferiority complex and imposter syndrome.
Del
can't figure out if OP attended Caltech or Johns Hopkins
click his username.
Not sure why you think network is a big factor in perception…or why you think WS is only low-skill finance and excludes quant, etc.
Where is ASU??
Lmao
Wisconsin > multiple on the list, and it's not even close
Congrats on Oxbridge
because OP also got into LSE, so he needs to do an Apple to Orange comparison
finally someone trashes on Texas/Vandy. Those schools placing well is a product of the money their admins and parents sink in but the kids remain greatly underwhelming in terms of intellectual horsepower
List clearly made by either an ex-US or an idiot
bump
Where's Durham? F tier?
