yea i’ve searched extensively. i’ve updated the post with my most recent college list. if you don’t mind, feel free to tell me any colleges to add in the target tier in case i forgot any.

 

Look up on LinkedIn with the following search entry:

"Investment Banking [insert college name]" Go to the amount of search results for Greater New York City and for People

Make a spreadsheet and order the schools by most search results to lowest

That's how I came about my college list. Just make sure to include some safeties and schools with in-state tuition just in case your financial situation changes by next year.

Here is my list that I'll be applying next year in case you're wondering (not in any order):

Cornell - ED 1
Vanderbilt - ED 2 NYU - RD Michigan - EA
Boston College - RD Fordham - EA
Dartmouth - RD UVA - EA
Carnegie Mellon - RD UNC - EA
Notre Dame - RD NC State - EA
Wake Forest - RD Villanova - EA
Duke - RD

 

Ohhh so the search results will tell me which schools send the most graduates to IB?

Thanks so much!

I actually didn’t know you could ED to two schools. Interesting list, what tier would you classify NC State, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt at?

 

You can't early decision two schools. You aren't supposed to at least. If the schools find out you did this they can cancel your application/admission.

There is currently an investigation into this right now actually, linked below if you're interested. https://www.insidehighered.com/admissions/article/2018/04/09/justice-de…
