MBB, tier 1 IB - lowest ranked school

Hi all

What's the lowest ranked school grad that you know of or have heard of working FO at MBB or a tier 1 IB.

Emphasis more on MBAs, because, for low ranked undergrads , I'm assuming this would be too improbable.

I suppose then since there are always outliers what's the lowest rank school or schools that seem to occasionally send grads to such places.

It's good to know of the possibilities.

@TNA" if you are not too busy care to chime in too with a small observation?

Thanks guys

1) costs 2) geography 3) diverse internally = diverse outreach of clients 4) chances that stars slipped from usual MBB schools because of (family, costs, life, etc)

 

size is a tough "possibility" though. 1-2 is high for 15-40 vs. "low" for top 10 schools to send out 25. there are some biases on program sizes, etc., but still it mostly applies
