How Connected is Bucknell to Wall Street?

Hi. I previously posted on here with major advice for Bucknell U. I am now strongly considering Econ, while attempting to pursue a career in IB, as getting into the business school for finance is not allowed (I applied into engineering instead). I talked to a few students at Bucknell, and they said that school is well-connected. however, I would like a more unbiased perspective on people from different colleges, or actually on Wall Street. also, many previous posts are a few years outdated. so if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated, and I will answer any questions or criticisms. thanks!

They are very well connected! Last year they sent more kids into IB than colgate and villanova. There alumni is fantastic if you want an interview you'll def get one.
