Schools improving in placement

Curious to hear how some non targets may be improving or semi targets as well. I know its still the middle of recruiting season but I feel like this isn't really mentioned and it would be interesting to hear what everyone has heard/ is thinking.

NESCACs. These were always good on per capita basis. However, dynamics like virtual recruiting (some of these are isolated), shift away from targets, and diversity initiatives work in favor for NESCAC recruiting. 

 

Any of the big ones known for the social scene with mostly white student bodies (Bama, ASU, Penn, Michigan State) knocked it out of the park this year.

 

Northwestern. Buyside placement this year from the banking club was phenomenal

Middlebury is fucking killing it for some reason. 

Friend who goes there told me that there are sixteen people who are incoming SA or FT for Goldman Sachs on campus right now, not including this year's process. I went through the diversity program for GS and I swear there were 10+ Middlebury sophomores there. Plus Barclays, BAML, and MS suck them off from what I've heard

I don't understand it and it quite frankly pisses me off. 

 

Individual NESCAC schools have their own pipelines. Just the way it goes. 

Middlebury has GS, Wesleyan has EVR/CVP, Amherst and Williams place well across the board, Tufts to MS. The networks are tight. 

 

Binghamton School of Management. If you can get into the investment fund and banking bootcamp and are willing to do the work for it, an offer for IB is practically guaranteed. Bunch of us are interviewing to go directly into buy side
