Warwick is 16000 undergrads. Approx 5k undergrads / a year. You’re asking if approx. only the top 500 get into IB in London a year. There are probably only 500 BB spots in IBD a year. So doubt even 10% get IBD.

yea but realistically you should only be looking at the numbers of the Econ and WBS departments...even then out of them not all will go IB and not all will go Front Office either.

so assuming theres broadly 600-700 in each year group between the 2 id say i wouldnt be surprised at all if atleast 20% got into MO / FO / Consulting between them.

 

How many do you actually think get IB? I would imagine like, 50 warwick undergrads a year, for SA/FT, no? Just because London intern classes are so small. Like some BBs only take 60 people, and report having no none oxbridge school represent more than like 3-5 kids. I’m sure Warwick placement is killer but still. Would be skeptical of 280 warwick kids a year going into Fo IB/Consulting (at least at reputable firms). Include bo, mo then yeah sure

 

Yes, but if you're good technically, socially and on resume you can get in from any top uni, no?

 

'Prospective undergrad' that's cringe bro

Go party and have fun don't be in a finance 24/7 mode

 

Good proxy is asking someone in the know at Warwick for estimates on how many people a year join the finance related societies and then also asking them how many of those members typically place. Might not be perfect but it gets close enough.

Worth noting that only about ~50-60% of analysts even come straight out of undergrad. A very sizeable chunk come from various pre-experience business/finance masters programs across Europe. So the number of seats even available for undergrads in the first place is pretty limited - though some banks e.g. Lazard or Evercore prefer hiring undergrads vs masters.

 

At Yale a below average student can get Ib so can the same be said for Warwick?

 

Yale is tiers above Warwick in terms of caliber of students. More just about how hard it is to get into a top Ivy than Warwick's quality

 

Yale is more like an Oxbridge type of target - i.e. fewer people are invested in going down the finance track. Lots go into politics, corporate law, academia etc.

Whereas at Warwick, LSE and UCL people are way more invested in finance Those are more akin to somewhere like Stern or Wharton.
