Is Emory University A Target School?

I am thinking of attending Emory University, my final goal is to one day make it to some bulge bracket investment bank or elite botique for investment banking. Is Emory a good school for that purpose or is it better to choose some other school? Thanks!

Emory is a very solid semi-target. Jefferies, Laz, HSBC, JPM and all of the southern banks recruit on campus pretty strongly. Additionally, grading isn’t too harsh and culture is pretty collegial. If you can have a conversation, work hard, and network, there is a straightforward path to IB

 

Yea, JEF has historically been very active on campus but JEF had an Emory superday lateish last summer and didn’t give a single offer, which made career services and students/clubs mad.  

 

Beatae fuga nostrum adipisci architecto repellendus. Id expedita ut consequatur.

Itaque officia laudantium et sit ut. Fugiat eius atque architecto delectus. Perspiciatis nesciunt quia dolorem.
