Indiana/Villanova/Fordham/Rutgers for IB
WSO family, how's it going?
My little brother just got all his acceptances in and I was wondering what your thoughts are on the following for IB. Here are the final acceptances/stats:
1.) Indiana (Direct Admit to Kelley) - No scholarship/money given
2.) Villanova - No scholarship/money given
3.) Fordham - $22k/year scholarship
4.) Rutgers - Full ride
He's interested in banking, but parents are not looking to go into massive debt. Let me know what you guys think as I went to a non-target and can't really speak on the choices above.
Thanks a ton.
Indiana then Nova. I'd say try and make sure your brother gets into the IB workshop. Not sure how general Kelly grads place.
Just based on Wall Street placement, this is my ranking of those 4 on what I've seen from my friends at those schools and people at my internships:
Of course other people probably know more, but there's a very strong Fordham presence on Wall Street. I've spoken to a few Fordham kids who say to get IB roles you have to be a top performer with a high GPA, etc.. but they have some recruiting so it's not a non-target.
Honestly though don't just pick on placement. It'll be a long 4 years otherwise.
Villanova or Indiana. I dont know why the guy above thinks Fordham has a good presence. Fordham places people in BO, MO and big 4 not FO! Of course there will be typical 3 or 4 guys breaking into FO from Fordham or that have moved from BO to FO but they are not actively recruited by BB for FO.
False, Fordham has a weak FO placement. Your brother should go for Indiana.
Thanks for the Indiana votes, guys.
The only issue now is the massive debt he'll have to take on.
My vote is for Villanova.
My vote is Indiana hands down
I'd recommend Villanova.
Indiana places the best of the above schools in your list but that's not saying much either as Indiana is at best a lower end semi target with only the top few securing FO positions on wall street.
True, but if the OP is open to Chicago and SF, IU provides the best overall FO opportunities.
Not totally sure about SF but Chicago IB is certainly possible from IU.
Indiana by far. Their FO IB unplacement is unreal. I would put Villanova second. Their alumni network is one of the most loyal out there.
You would also have to get into the IB program at Indiana
Not necessarily. It obviously helps, but there are several that were not part of it that made it into IB.
Only if he can get into the IB workshop. Otherwise, Rutgers,
Indiana and it's not even close. They have a great IB workshop and place extremely well. If you're willing to work hard, you'll get a great offer out of Kelley.
