Help me choose schools for Investment Banking!

Hi all,

I am new here, and i have completed my transfer applications. I have been admitted into some schools, and i am waiting for other schools. Here is my school list.

Yale Stanford Upenn Duke Northwestern Johns Hopkins Cornell Georgetown USC WUSTL CMC Wesleyan Boston College Colgate(admitted) UNC (admitted) Case Western Reserve(admitted) Northeastern(admitted)

If i want to find jobs in Wall Street's Investment Banking like J.P. Morgan and Goldman, how can i choose among these schools. Can you help me rank these schools? I really appreciate your help and time:)Thank you!

 

So you don't know whether you got into all these schools yet? Why don't you come back when all of the decisions have come in? Of the schools you've been admitted to your best choice UNC, btw.

I have to choose among these schools that i have got in, as i have to pay for the commitment deposit on Monday for one of them. I will keep updating for this discussion. Btw, what's your ranking for all these schools? Thanks for your time and patience!

 

Actually i have bought the report in this WSO, but i have found the sample is too small. I will buy it in Linkedln, but can it show all the IB Analysts from all famous banks? I mean the whole industry, not just one company's data. Thanks!

Quite honeslty you should wait until you get all your acceptances before you worry about this. No point having everyone on here tell you that UPenn is the best for recruiting if you don't get the acceptance... just a thought.

Shockingly, I have met like 4 guys from Colgate on WS (all in the same group at a bank with one of the seniors being a Colgate Alum). Really speaks to the importance to stalking the alumni of the schools that you don't traditionally think of as "target schools".
