Hamilton College or Middlebury? (I'm not sure if I'm 100% trying to get into finance)
Hi everyone. I'm currently a high school senior and I was accepted to both Hamilton and Middlebury.
The thing is, I'm not sure if I'm 100% trying to get into finance. I'm definitely going to major in computer science so I don't know if I want to do math + cs or econ + cs. I wish I could say I had passion for investment banking, but with absolutely no job experience (besides helping out my mother's consulting business. I did a lot of Excel/PowerPoint related work and have always incorporated VBA/Python to improve my efficiency), I don't know if I'll love it or hate it. And the same case goes for tech.
I'm also interested in "tech in finance" since growing up I have been introduced to the e-banking systems my father and his colleagues worked on.
I think I'm stuck between these schools. Hamilton has a great NYC program which I'm really excited about and overall I feel more comfortable in Hamilton after talking to students from both schools. Hamilton also has a decent math + econ combination (I've met plenty of math + econ students already) and has sent 3 grads to Deutsche Bank in 2021 (I'm specifically interested in this case because 1. Hamilton did a coverage on this 2. Diversity? One of them is even an international student). However, after browsing through this website, I'm left with an impression that Middlebury is more "recognized" by the finance world.
I didn't find any detailed info of Middlebury's career outcome besides the percentages on their website, though. Hamilton has a "Outcomes Report" thing which tells you how many grads in one class went into finance/consulting/tech/education etc and where they went
Choose Midd 100%, whether it’s for finance or a math/comp sic role, Midd has a far reaching alumni network that will go to bat for you.
In terms of finance, as you mentioned previously they are more recognized then Hamilton in that regard and send out numerous students to firms every year (GS is the biggest target)
Midd is also a lot better in terms of sports and campus feel, but that is more opinionated then anything else.
Feel free to pm me

I’d say Middlebury has most kids go to GS with some MS, and then spread out from there. They have a really strong Student Investment Committee which sets most of the students there up with opportunities if they want to take them.

Midd, hands down
