Cornell becomes the biggest feeder to JPM NYC IBD
I always thought Cornell was in the middle between semi-target and target. Anyone who has any comments about Cornell has already placed over 10 NYC IBD offers at JPM?

I think a lot of it has to do with the size of Cornell. They have 16k+ undergrads so of course there will be more Cornell kids versus comparable schools with smaller undergrad populations
Still insane tho. I used to think that most of their placement volume is at MMs or less competitive BBs, and rarely any EBs.
Remember that a smaller percentage of Cornell students try to enter IB than many peer institutions. Students studying agriculture or MechE are unlikely to try to enter finance. Cornell's business school is small, and even if you add finance-related majors like ORIE, the overall percentage of students trying to enter finance is still small.
congrats on Cornell!
Cornell has always been a target.
This comes as no surprise? Confused why this is news - it’s like stating “cheese found in mozzarella stick”
Historically, Cornell has been the biggest feeder to JPM (at least for the last 5-ish years). It also has a pretty decent presence in GS (a bit less in MS) and is rapidly expanding their EVR headcount. The size of the school is part of it, but I think it's due to both ends. Larger school = more applicants but also = more alums = more people pulling. Also their pre-professional culture allows for students to master technicals faster than the rest (club culture can be too much though).
Maybe it's the bank that I am at, but I wouldn't say Cornell people are technically that great
nepo or diversity? i think non-div there should be pretty cracked if they can survive there. I basically seen cornell presence at almost all the stock pitches competitions' final rounds
fun fact, they already placed 5 candidate from class of 2027 to MS 2025 IBD Summer Analyst Program through First Year Enhancement Program. I think the school is large + cutthroat preprofessional environment all has a factor in its insane placement lately. However, I srsly don't think its a fun school to go just given the competition.

What? An Ivy League school is a target? You’re kidding.
Half the ppl going to jpm from Cornell are total bricks and the other ones are some of the smartest ppl on campus. Rlly wonder how they made the decisions
del
I go here; they gave out a good 15+ offers. There's a ton of ppl here who haven't posted or have soph offers elsewhere and can't post till they finish those internships. Actually an insane year for Cornell --> JPM
There is literally 500+ applying for finance at cornell each year given it has 16k undergrad body. Its cutthroat competitive, and pretty sure there is 80%+ strike out rate.
