Columbia vs USC Marshall vs UMich Ross

Hey guys!

I am interested in going into investment banking, and I narrowed my 11 acceptances down to 3 schools. I know there are a lot of differences between each of these schools, and I would like some insight on the pros/cons of each, IB recruitment, etc. Please let me know if you all have any questions. Thanks for the information!

Columbia by far. Congrats. Have fun.
