Best Semi-Targets?
What are the top semi-targets?
Not sure I can get into a target. 35 ACT; however, my GPA is a 3.7 UW. I attend a competitive high school, where hardly anyone achieves a 3.9 UW.
Have good internships and great leadership positions.
Thanks.

Top LACs like Amherst and Williams are solid
still hard to get into because their classes are way smaller so admissions standards remain high.
Is their OCR good or is it more about leveraging the alumni network?
More about the alumni network — because only like 40-60 kids a class are interested in finance most firms don’t do traditional OCR so if you’re trying to go down that route your options are limited. OCR is still decent though and you get plenty of IB and buy side opps through handshake too
Disagree - Trin by no means an academic power house but alumni are very loyal and helpful
Ball So Hard University
top state schools are great IF you’re a top person in the pool.
Seconded, people are going to give me shit for this but Rutgers is a very solid option. Just look at placements for their most recent SA classes 2021 and 2022. 95% of people who recruit for IB ended up at a BB, EB, Well regarded MM, or industry boutique. Around 40 people are heading to top firms - would put it in the workshop tier because of these numbers
Whoever ms is crazy, at least provide explanation
Didn't MS but have one thing to point out: Rutgers is a shoe-in with OP's stats, I think coming from a competitive high school and with all the hard-work they put in to get to the place that they are today, Rutgers wouldn't be the best fit. OP's state school would probably be a better option, if near full tuition/full-ride.
I heard Colgate does well when I was researching colleges, if you can stomach going to a school that shares its name with a toothpaste.
Boston College
UC Berkeley, UMICH, UT Austin, UVA are my favorites state school wise. Good placement all around & cheap.
Beyond that I’d add UNC and IU as well.
Santa Clara university in sf is beginning to hold its weight in the cities IB and PE for any west coasters. Plenty of dimes as well
Some of the Big Ten schools.
IU and UIUC (for Chicago) come to mind.
Community colleges
Lowkey, SMU
USC - placement this last cycle was crazy (5 GS TMT's - 3 SF, 2 NYC)
