UF, Wisco, UMD, or UCONN?
What college would be best long-term? In-State for UCONN, and one year free at UMD in scholarship. Full price at Wisco and UFlorida. Leaning towards Wisconsin or Florida but unsure if Florida places in New York for IB or Consulting. Does UFlorida place in IB in NYC? How are the networks at the other schools? Which is the best to pick?
For Florida, unless you’re in the MSF program your chances are really low. You might breakthrough if you’re a minority with the right network tho. RBC , SunTrust, and the Charlotte banks recruit UF pretty heavily.
UF places for RBC, WF, Jefferies, Evercore, and SunTrust. Alumni are at a few more banks but no formal path to those places. UMD also has a program that places people in IB but most are LMM IB opportunities like Stifel. UConn is a complete nontarget. I've heard decent things about wisconsin but not sure the specifics
For those Evercore and Jefferies placements, those connections are only accessible for those in UF's MSF program. RBC recruits on campus but strongly preferences MSF kids as the Director who leads the UF recruitment efforts is an MSF alum; a couple non-MSF kids (mostly SEO diversity people) manage to break through every year, though. Wells Fargo, SunTrust, and Raymond James are all very accessible to non-diversity and non-MSF students.
Wisconsin is solid for IB recruiting. Not a huge alumni base, but goddamn are they loyal
Wisco is actually highly underrated for IB, look into them.
I work at a bank with some UF kids, all of whom are from the MSF program. Absolutely top notch analysts. If you think your odds are solid of getting into it, that is 100% the route to take over the other schools. Those kids place strongly both in banking, AND in PE.
