NESCAC Schools in the finance industry?
Are all nescacs in similar prestige and similar networking. Or are some schools more “target” than others.

Williams and Amherst (Targets) > Middlebury (Semi) > Bowdoin (Low Semi) > Everything else (Low semi to high non-target)
That’s great to hear!
Yea the top LACs can be great feeders. You mentioned you were an athlete, in that case, Williams, Amherst, or even Middlebury will be smooth sailing for recruitment.
good for a high-quality network. Even if there's less alums in finance at some of the schools, the few who are in the industry are way more likely to help you out
Thank you so much this helps out a lot, I have been looking at them from an athlete perspective.
I go to A/W. every alum i've spoken to has received my email/call, been willing to chat. Idk if that's the case anywhere else besides Dartmouth (maybe Princeton idk). it's also very calm. I know at least 1-3 heads going to each EBs (EVR/LAZ/PJT/CVP/MOE/GUGG) BBs (GS/MS/JPM) and a couple UMM buyside firms.
Two main disadvantages are 1) placement will overall be less than Northwestern/UChicago/Georgetown-esque schools and may make you double think. You won't see KKR/Blackstone out of undergrad as often as those schools. 2) depending on A/W, one of them is super well known for nepo and DEI is def a consideration esp for BB. but that's the case anywhere
there is always a hierarchy
Any of the nescacs will get you really good looks especially the ones mentioned above. Hamilton is also very underrated
I transferred from a middle-ish NESCAC to a target, but you should be fine if you get serious with recruiting and technical prep early.
