Boston University or Babson College

Hey y'all, I might not be the most intelligent person in this discussion compared to other deciding IVY league school, but I wanna work in finance (IB, Hedge, Private Equity) and I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion on which of the two schools I should attend? I know both school have people break into IB each year.

I am inclined towards Babson College, primarily due to its close-knit alumni network that is known to provide significant support and mentorship. However, I remain open to suggestions and insights from the discussion.

Planning on doing a dual concentration in Computational & Mathematical Finance and Quantitative Methods, with a strong focus on Economics and Mathematics.

Any suggestion is welcomed!

currently babson, the smaller class size of school, and each year there are people breaking into Babson making me leaning toward this school more.

Do you know anything regarding babson alumni breaking into IB?

Thanks
