Undergrad Destination
I'm currently a high school senior looking to eventually go into the investment banking (not sure specifically what part) and want some advice on which colleges I applied to will give me the best shot of landing a job at a BB firm. So far I got into Pitt, Fordham, Indiana, and Northeastern (business schools). I got waitlisted at Uchicago and denied at Stern. I'm waiting to hear back from Boston College, Cornell (Dyson), Dartmouth, Duke (legacy), UVA (legacy), and Villanova. So I have 2 questions, if i get into all of those schools which is the best, and if I don't get into anymore schools which is the best (for IB). Thanks!
Cornell is probably your best bet if you get in otherwise Duke and UVA are good too. If you don't get anywhere else, I would go Indiana.
Duke and Dartmouth are 100% above Cornell. Duke/Dartmouth > Cornell (slightly) > UVA > Indiana (if you get into business school and IB workshop). Honestly not really sure where to put Uchicago
Cornell > Dartmouth > Duke > UVA > BC > Fordham
Cornell over Duke and Dartmouth.......I'd pick Duke/Dartmouth over Cornell due to the intense competition and fewer spots at Cornell. Duke/Dartmouth are targets for all BB/EB, MM PE and MBB. I'd pick Dartmouth/Duke over Cornell.
for MBB, duke is only a target for the atlanta/small regional offices. There are only 1-2 kids who make it to NYC MBB from duke each year. Also, EBs - Lazard Evercore Moelis and PJT - do not recruit on campus at duke. But yes Duke is good for BB placement, especially MS JPM and DB
Dyson > Dartmouth > Duke > UVA > Cornell econ
Of the ones you've already been accepted to - go Indiana and get into their Investment banking course / program.
