Where did you go to college? Would you recommend it?

To all in this forum who are either currently or were previously employed in IB: Where did you go to college and would you recommend it? Asking as a HS Junior beginning the college application process? My grades aren't bad and I come from a high school considered to be academically challenging. I'm projecting that my final SAT will be between 1400-1500. I'm also wondering what safeties you all would recommend?

Cornell. Highly recommend. Great on-campus recruiting, we are a target for most banks and definitely have alumni at all of them. Ithaca is a great college town. The grind is imposing, though, I worked harder in school than I do on the desk.

For a safety - IU, U of I and east coast based schools like Fordham and Tufts.

 

Bates. Maine is awful but overall it was a good experience. Not that hard to network with other nesac alum and easy to stand out by being the big fish in the small pond.
