WashU St. Louis

I am a senior in high school and am wondering where I should ED. I really like WashU and I know they are overall a very prestigious school. I have read they are not the greatest for Investment Banking though. If I went to Olin would I still be able to make it into Investment Banking or Private Equity right out of undergrad. Also, is there any on campus recruiting or any types of recruiting events. How feasible is it to break into a BB or EB from this school.

 

Went to Wash U. Definitely a solid semi-target and you can certainly go to IB straight out of undergrad and plenty of people do each year, though likely less than those at the core targets. Had classmates go to nearly all of the BBS and EBs so definitely doable if you’re a good candidate. That being said if IB/PE is your certain goal and you get into a core target that will probably be an easier path.
