Everything else is non-target. NU might not be target for firms in NYC but will place well in midwest. IU, UIUC, WashU also have decent placement

Saying Washu isnt a target for Chicago is crazy.

 

I went to Depaul Kellstadt and it opened a fairly lucrative door at one of the big three rating agencies for me. I probably could have gotten an opportunity for IB if I pursued it (the Chicago finance community is way less competitive than NYC) so not having the resume to get into NW or UC isn’t that prohibitive anyway. Plus the degree is cheaper and honestly probably easier/less stressful. Professors were great and I learned a lot.
