For private schools there’s 2 tiers.

First tier is UChicago and Northwestern, you’ll get any interview you want from there.

And then it’s Notre Dame, Washu and Michigan. Getting midwestern ib jobs from there is quite easy.

For state schools UIUC and Wisconsin are the best ones.

Midwestern banking will mostly be in Chicago and some in Minny and Milwaukee.

 

Seen their top kids land at places like lincoln and stuff. But not much crazier. Then again in from the south so dont know many from there

IU Kelley IBW is the WSO nuts.

Wdym by this? WSO Nuts?

Poker slang. The nuts is the best hand.

Avid poker player and IBW alumni. Was hoping this was what you meant, but wasn't sure if you meant it in a more condescending manner. Cheers man, thanks.

You play in any tournaments btw? Based in NYC and want to play more

Oh ok cool. Yeah didn't mean it to be condescending. If you can land IU IBW, you have proven chances to make it to IB. That's a pretty damn good hand to have IMO. I am an avid tourney player and play on ACR for about 30-60hrs per week.

I used to live in NYC and go to the Borgata in AC to play. I currently live in the SE and closest casinos are Harrah's Cherokee NC and BestBet FL. I love playing live and hope to do some traveling to casinos next week. Poker is great fun and I probably only have a few months free to play it as hoping to get an MBA next year and won't have time to play much tourney poker then. I typically only do tourneys and not cash games. Cheers! See you on the felt.
