SMU will be the next target school for IB for Texas and NYC

SMU Cox’s new building will be an attraction for a lot more on campus recruiting, especially for New York once it’s done. It is already a top target for Houston and Dallas if you’re in the Alts program. Overall placement is well as last couple years included Centerview, Moelis, Lazard, PJT, Evercore, Goldman, Jefferies, Citi, BofA, and Morgan Stanley. ALTS has killer placement, but if you’re in ALTS and join Spindletop, you will have great job prospects to Houston. You, as a student, present to a board that includes major players within the energy sector(MDs, Directors, Associates). This years class had 100% placement for investment banking in Houston across top EBs/BBs. SMU has a great presence in Texas and a decent presence on Wall Street. SMU is on the come up for being both a target for NY and already a top target for Texas. SMU kids blow these ivy leagues out of the water in terms of preparation. The ALTS program really prepares the students well. PONY UP!

Bro stop coping. The only kids from SMU that make it are kids from Generational Wealth. NO SMU kid is making it besides nepotism and no one respects SMU on paper.
