Boston College vs. Carnegie Mellon Tepper: which is better for a future in IB?
I was recently accepted to Boston College's Carroll School of Management Honors Program and Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business. I have always wanted to become an investment banker for preferably a major investment bank (GS, MS, etc.) I was wondering which would be the best option for me if I were to pursue this path? Which school would offer the best recruitment, internships, and most importantly job offers upon graduation?
As a side note, I was wait listed at Dartmouth.
Boston College, I'm in CSOM and it's truly a great program. On campus recruiting is amazing. We have JPM, GS, MS, BarCap, Citi, CS, Deutsche, and UBS recruit on Campus. We also have a few of the Elite Boutiques and many MM banks. I'm not in the honors program personally but am friends with a lot of the guys in it. They have a great time. They get to go on golf outings with CEOs and MDs who have graduated from BC (Andy Sage from Jefferies). Other than that, Boston is just such a better city to be in than Pitt. BC is a much more fun campus and the girls are way better looking. I know for a fact that the people in the honors program get highly recruited. Theres one at Moelis, one or two at GS and 2 going to MS. A few others also have other BB ans elites. If you have any questions about anything else, feel free to PM. I'm going to be biased, but I honestly believe its much better if you want to go into IB.
CMU
Sorry, is this for undergrad or MBA/MSF?
and is BC just as good for MSF?
As an alumnus of BC's rival school, I am ashamed to say that the opportunities within finance you have at BC is tremendous.
(but go to Dartmouth if you get in)
Carnegie Mellon is the stronger name (reputation, ranking, salaries, etc.). However, both schools seem to be on par for finance/undergrad business. I'd go with CMU if you are more quant focused and BC if you want to have a better time.
This is for undergraduate. Keep the feedback coming, it has been very helpful!
One of the kids in my group went to BC, they are a strong school... so is CMU... do you like Boston or Pittsburgh?
BC has the better college experience in my opinion
It's been three years since this thread was created. Call me crazy, but I think OP has already decided.

I posted this exact same topic in the investment banking forum, but I wanted to see which school would be better if I were to pursue a career in S&T?

why make a repost?
Tepper
If you want to do investment banking, go to Boston College. If you want to do Sales and Trading, go to Tepper.
Unless you want to work in Boston or are uncomfortable with math, probably Tepper.
CMU
why the fuck are there all these tepper questions lately jesus
carnegie hands down...BC doesn't even compete on the same level
CMU is better for Trading (prob not Sales since I've never met anyone from CMU who was really a sophisticated people person). BC would be fine for IB.
Tepper !
U.
dude BC all the way, esp for banking
Tepper all the way.
you'll get the social skills for banking at BC.
While I think both are great schools, the cunty remarks about CMU are ridiculous. Boston College isn't even in fucking Boston. Oakland is a great campus and CMU is one of the top schools in this country. Their MBA is top20, their MSCF program is one of the best in the country, all the top trading and quant shops come on Campus and they have a NYC MSCF program which is a solid tie in for the street.
Besides. BC is going to be shit on by Harvard and MIT.
