UIUC, Fordham, Penn-State, NYU Shanghai, OSU, or SyracuseU for undergrad? Been/will be accepted to all

Which one of these schools opens up the most doors to high finance on Wall Street-either through reputation, alum base, campus clubs/organizations, transferability to actual targets, location, or a combination of all? Cost doesn't matter, just wondering which is the absolute best choice considering each school's future prospectives as far as BB/Elite Boutique placement go.

 

They call it University of Indians and University of Chinese for a reason lmao

 

Whichever one you will have the most fun at. It's a total crapshoot to get into IB from any of those schools so you might as well have some fun along the way.

 

That's what I was thinking, I saw a ton of BB Fordham people on LinkedIn (almost comparable to the targets) and they weren't just diversity either. Also saw they started getting some prominent OCR 2019 onwards based on the posts I've seen on here

 

yes im confident in arguing that we place equally to say a Boston College / Villanova / Colgate /

We have OCR at Barclays, Mizuho, BNP Paribas, Stifel, Credit Suisse, Cowen, Bank of America, Citi

not gonna kid myself and say its amazing placement but its truly not bad at all. I was in a groupchat with like 12 of us recruiting for IB and i think 10/12 of us got it.

hope this helps. any questions lmk
