I think the thing is with that survey is that it didn't take geography into account. Notre Dame for sure does excellent for Chicago IB, but I'm not sure if it is going to do that well in NYC. Based on the survey, the best Catholic school for NYC IB is undoubtedly Georgetown as most Georgetown IB jobs I would guess are in NYC rather than Chicago.

 

I’m a student at one of the rival catholic colleges (think GT/BC) and I’d verify that Notre Dame punches far above its weight on Wall Street, even in New York. Significant presence at the BBs like BAML, GS and Citi. They seem to have started to break into the EBs like EVR recently as well. Sure they seem to send a lot of kids to Blair and others in Chicago but the kids that want to go NY are very successful given the expansive alumni network.

 

Current ND soph here. Our last class sent 60-65 percent to NYC, 30 to CHI, and the rest to San fran, houston, and boston. So wouldn't say chicago is the main place, but definitely more well connected as that's where the majority of previous classes went before I'd say 2015 or so. Career center definitely killing it over past year to help kids

 

I’m an ND sophomore as well and can verify, culturally ND is growing to be more an IB school compared to a few years ago when fewer people from ND went into IB

Nah, I don't go to Notre Dame but I buy it. The kids there are smart and the alumni base pulls hard for them. Also, midwest IB feeders placing mostly into Chicago is a common misconception on WSO, it's not like the West Coast schools. Michigan, Notre Dame, and Indiana place significantly more kids to NY than Chicago for IB. UChicago and Northwestern might place more into Chicago though because they're 20 minutes away from the Chicago offices.
