Alright, I'm a high school senior looking to go into either IB, PE, HF, or S&T. Leaning towards IB and S&T though. What school would best set me up for a career in those areas? My choices are:
Colby College
Trinity College
Colgate University
I'm guessing that if i want to go into S&T, I'm probably going to want to study Comp Sci/Math/Econ
What school do you think is best for a career in finance??

Those are your only options? What are your stats? I'd say colgate or colby out of those but none of those will "set you up" for a career in IBD/S&T
^ agreed, colgate u
If you don't like what you're hearing, you can always ace your first year or two and then transfer to a better school.
2200 SAT and 94 average in a lot of AP courses. I didn't really apply to any universities. Instead I applied to mostly LACs and USC (socal) and I did not get into USC. I certainly plan on transferring though.. What would be good transfer options?
Solid stats...aim high: think Ivy league, NYU, or other comparable schools
Do not think "ivy, NYU or comparable schools" ... because that sentence has an inherent problem in a huge way... think "ivy, or maybe if that doesn't work, perhaps NYU or other comparable schools"
I think OP knows what i meant.. obviously by no means is NYU on any Ivy's level
Does anyone know of any WSO members who started off at non-targets and were able to transfer to target/ivy/high caliber schools?
Don't go to a college named after a toothpaste.
No Amherst or Williams?
The CEO of Barcap is a Colby grad, and I think they recruit there. Of course your chances would be better if you got into a "target school," but these are really good schools to go to. If you utilize the alumni connections from these schools, you'll be all set.
Colgate and Colby are good enough that when you transfer into a good school people won't make that much fun of you, so I'd say choose the one where it's easier to get A's so you can transfer into a better school.
