T20 MBAs for Charlotte IB?

I work in corporate FP&A in South Carolina, and want to get into IB close to home in either Charlotte or Atlanta and I am targeting BoA, Wells, Jeffries, Barings, etc. Which schools in the T20 are good enough for placing into these cities? (Preferably BoA or Wells Charlotte) I'm interested in the following programs in this order: - UNC KF -Duke Fuqua -UVA Darden -Emory Goizueta -UGA Terry -Vanderbilt Owen. (Not super interested in M7 due to price, and was hoping these place well enough in the area).

Fuqua and Darden are your best bet. For regional recruiting, it’s possible from probably all of the schools you mentioned. Check the programs’ employment report by region and employer. Also do a LinkedIn search “Darden MBA investment banking” and filter by location.
