Kellog no doubt
On the street at a BB for reference
Gotta be a joke unless you misread Kelley(Indiana) as Kellog(Northwestern’s MBA). It’s Emory by a mile lol
Think he misread Northeastern as Northwestern
Go with Emory if tuition/money isn't an issue.
You'll be able to land a BB/EB job from Emory easily if you're a top student
Emory
Rutgers if you want to be middle office...
Emory is in a different league from the others here. If you get in then go there
Emory. https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/school/investment-banking-target-…
Unless very diverse would be quite hard to get directly into reputable PE from any of these as UG
However all of these (except maybe Rutgers) make it possible to get into BB/EB after which very doable to get into PE as associate
I would echo the others here who say Emory is probably your best bet.
I have seen reasonably PE exits out of Emory as in there are a few every year so its not really an anomaly and there is somewhat of a pipeline. That said it is definitely challenging
Would be between NEU and Emory IMO
Northeastern recruiting is really mid. Emory is definitely better by quite a margin
Depends on your goal, you wanna post up on tiktok talking about how you're on wall street? Go rutgers baby
My guy I’m not sure what you’re on but Emory is the only very legit school on this list
I've only seen Emory kids out of these on the Street, anecdotally.
The application cycle hasn't started yet. You would need to get into these schools first, and if you do Emory would be the better choice.
