Thank you so much!
Why not any ivies?
I am not familiar with some of those but I would think Warwick. As for the US schools none of them are major targets though Florida State is a target for Raymond James. St. John’s would put you closest to the major banks though it is not a target.
for aus: sydney & melbourne are world class. avoid macquarie.
for uk: warwick is unquestionably best choice for ib from your list, then kings, then (further behind) exeter. don't go to heriot-watt or surrey - neither will get you interviews in london ib.
can't comment on the rest.
From that list Warwick is tops for IB. Current student and we get pretty much every major BB/EB doing something and this summer pretty much every place has good Warwick representation (I think except PJT)
After that comes KCL which is very good too but people call it a semi-target.
And then I’d say the two Aussie unis (UMelb and USyd) bur Australia is very hard to break into if you don’t have citizenship
McGill has strong placements in Montreal, Toronto and the US (Evercore Houston, PJT...). Also Montreal is a great city and cheap for rent. Very multicultural and has a lot of Europeans (mainly France). If you can speak decent French, it opens up the Montreal positions which aren't as competitive as Toronto. It's about a 5-6 hour drive to Toronto, 2-3 hours to Quebec and 2 hours from Ottawa so close to all major cities in the East of Canada. Pretty cheap flights to NYC normally too ($200-300 round trip)
I highly suggest you look into it. Drinking age is 18 so lower than US.
That being said, I'd look into Florida State (if over 21 when you're there) - it may not be the best for IB, but since you're on exchange, have fun. Football culture there is crazy. Also you're in Florida so lots beaches.
Surprised no one has said this yet... I don't think studying abroad for a semester at a university changes the outlook on your recruiting chances. I don't even think you can access the on campus recruiting services as an exchange student.
You should go where you think you'd have the the coolest experience and fun. For god sakes, people on this site turn one of the most fun experiences in college into a recruiting discussion
out of this, Toronto, HK university, Fudan, MCGill, British Columbia, Singapore, Warwick in no particilar order (don't know about australia). If I were you, I would definitely go either to a canadian one (Toronto > BC > Mcgill) or Warwick. If I have to pick just one, probably toronta (Warwick is a freaking bubble).
