WashU Olin VS UMich LSA

Which is better for IB recruiting. I am not sure which one I should choose. At Mich I would probably do econ. Also can somebody speak on Umich econ recruiting. Would Umich econ be better than Washu Olin?

At Olin rn(assuming you mean UG, MBA/MSF is dogshit). Upsides are definitely network (incredibly rich school), but primary downsides would be recruiting. Very solid for Guggenheim, Lazard, Evercore, and (if strong diversity) GS/JPM/random occasional BB/EB. Good resources but not well-enough known to carry prestige. Olin Finance/Econ Strat is pretty solid, but tbh the quality doesn’t make it a hard pick over UMich econ. Also, if cost is factor, Olin should not be paid a time over UMich. Also UMich is fun, WashU is many things but definitely not fun. Feel free to dm w questions.
