I eventually wanted to go into a PE role after IB, but I guess I didn’t really think about undergrad still mattering at that point. The question is will Stern’s “prestige on Wall Street” hold up compared to other schools? If not, I might think about transferring to an ivy or something. Just food for thought haha.

Unfortunately yes. Attending the #2 school in the world for placing analysts on Wall Street is a straight shot in the foot with no recovery in sight.
