Based on the most helpful WSO content, Babson College is not typically considered a strong target school for investment banking (IB) recruiting. While Babson has a solid reputation for entrepreneurship, it does not have the same level of alumni presence or established pipelines into top investment banks as other schools.
For IB recruiting, target schools are generally those with strong alumni networks in banking, robust on-campus recruiting programs, and a history of placing students into front-office roles at BB (Bulge Bracket) or EB (Elite Boutique) firms. Schools like those in the M7 MBA programs, top undergraduate business schools, or liberal arts colleges with strong finance pipelines (e.g., Amherst or Williams) tend to dominate in this area.
If you're set on IB, you might want to consider schools with stronger placement records and alumni networks in finance. However, if you choose Babson, you would likely need to rely heavily on networking, internships, and possibly joining finance-related clubs or organizations to improve your chances.
