Company choices to apply in your college senior years

College senior year will start in about a month. When you guys fight for full-time positions after graduation, what companies in the field of business will you choose to apply at this point except all these common names? I don't think people will largely bet themselves in a small niche or extremely competitive area in the industry, so I am looking for your comments/choice, which I believe will also benefit others, thanks

I am also interested.

With the economic uncertainty and lack of hiring at the bulge bracket banks, I wouldn't mind if I was able to land a full-time gig at an elite, niche-focused boutique bank. Due to job security, a lot of my friends have said screw banking altogether and have been focusing on Fortune500 Rotational Development Programs.
