Harvard/ Yale/Princeton/Stanford/MIT/Columbia or Wharton M &T 2022 college admission cycle
Hello WSO Community,
I am fortunate enough to be accepted at the above colleges.
I am interested in a career in finance ( HFT firms, maybe) after my undergraduate education. Plan to study computer science and maths.
Not a candidate for financial aid at any of the above, fees are approximately the same everywhere.
Understand that all are excellent choices, and one has to find a good fit.
My overall impression so far:
Wharton M & T: only 50 students accepted, preference given to a group of 50 as compared to other Upenn students, strong alumni network
Harvard: best well-rounded education
Yale: best known for political science and law but still can get offers from wall street firms after graduation
Princeton: more emphasis on undergrad education as compared to others, better campus
Stanford: best weather and close proximity to silicon valley, known for start-up culture but still can get jobs with wall street firms
MIT: Most likely to get jobs at wall street firms but have to compete with ~1300 equally strong students to get the best offers
Columbia: due to the NYC location easier to get placed with wall street firms
Which one will you choose and why?
Thanks.
Just say u wanna flex and leave it at that
Facts. I grew up in nova and all the blonde chicks from my high school went to JMU.

Will appreciate if the WSO community who work in HFT firms can comment.
No family/friends of family work in this field.
This is a genuine question.
Thanks.
If you want to get into HFT then I’d assume a math focused degree. In that case MIT or Princeton. (CS degree: Stanford)
(Finance/Econ: Wharton/Harvard)
