Stanford, MIT, Chicago, Northwestern..
seriously do I need to go on?
I'm trying to figure out where to apply for undergrad: NYU, Northwestern, Chicago, Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, Ivy Leagues, I was wondering if anybody had more to add
Not exhaustive by any means - and more for consulting than banking (tend to be similar IMO though), but:
Super-targets (large class sizes): Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Wharton, Chicago, Columbia etc. Targets: Michigan, Duke, Berkeley, UVA, Northwestern, UCLA, NYU, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth etc. Regional Targets: UT-Austin, Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon, Boston U, USC, UIUC etc.
Though I do think you can get in from most (top 50) schools. The amount of networking and self-prep required would just be a lot more (inversely proportional to prestige). Also, there is an East Coast bias. If finance is what you want to do, go to an East Coast school (for example, while Cal is arguably a better school than NYU, NYU tends to do better for Wall Street recruiting, from what I know).
Pretty good list here. Not sure about BU, and you should definitely at IU to the list.
Could probably add Emory, UNC and Vanderbilt to the list and sandwich them somewhere between target and regional.

thanks for all the replies :) will definitely look into these!
