Actual Global Undergrad Tier List

Pretty accurate so far, especially because the success rates have shifted a lot this year. I'd put Princeton one tier down and Bocconi up a tier though.

Why the fuck is Dartmouth that high, and I don't see a single german or french uni on here

Bump

I'm gonna base my kids future on this list

I havent seen a single Bocconi kid on the street this year

unironically accurate, even though i noticed you sorted the tiers from best to worst from white to brown to black (tf is wrong with you)

Manchester is arguably the biggest troll aspect of this thread tbh. 

no idea how my alma mater (penn state) didnt even get a mention

the usual pipelines from canada are drier than my wife ever since trump fucked with their visas

make another one based on how hot the girls are and itll be reversed

Western Ivey and Queens should at least be the same tier as uToronto if not higher. I don’t know if anyone from uToronto goes to US banks. It is a good feeder for MBB though

Read it bottom to top and its the ranking of likelihood of getting pussy in college. This is why I went to Blue Mountain State and now proudly work at GS/MS/Tobin & Co as an extern. 

Surprised to see Cornell so high, always thought its large class sizes somewhat covered its mediocre placement

had no idea the non-UK/NA universities ranked so highly 

Your percentages are so off lmfao. My Harvard graduating class had just one single student who wanted IB but couldn't land a gig. I couldn't tell you how many kids ended up in IB/MBB/PE, but it was certainly more than two.

What methodology did you use? Also, I'm not so sure if including China and Japan is accurate given that almost no one attending a Western school considers those markets as their goal.

Absolutely horrible list. While schools like ETH Zürich are well regarded it's not really a traditional target for non quant finance. Same goes for TUM, I think some of them go into MBB, but it's definitely not common and ppl from TUM in ibd or pe are even less common. St. Gallen, WHU and Uni Mannheim are all way better than TUM for getting into finance in the DACH area (Germany, Switzerland, Austria). I think the same applies to UofT, which is not target at all, even though it's highly ranked because of its research. St. Andrews, KCL and Manchester are Semi Targets at best, the only true UK targets are Warwick, Imperial, UCL, LSE, Oxbridge and LBS.

Switch out Manchester for Durham and the list seems pretty damn accurate

LSE is so overrated on this forum.

Tell me you're racist without telling me that you're racist... What else can be expected from a guy with a user name that reflects pristenely three facts a) heavy inferiority complexes due to micropenis issues b) repressed homo impulses c) very strong pedo impulses... Fuck off and go back to rape dogs while looking at a portrait of your fhürer or however is written ( is a well known fact of the history of psychiatry that hitler's niece committed suicide because of the aberrant acts that she was forced to commit by her uncle even including dogs)

Clearly not from Canada if you're placing UofT anywhere on a list, especially above Queens and Ivey.

Duke??

Nobody's mentioned stanford being on the very fuckin bottom?

As per usual, international schools are all WAY OFF.

Wtf is Kyoto doing in the top tier instead of Keio or Waseda? Wtf is ETH Zurich doing in the top tier? 

Wtf is Manchester doing lumped in with Bocconi. Where tf are the other UK semi-targets? 

Trash effort

how the fuck is kyoto on the same tier as tokyo lmao

Otherwise pretty accurate comparison of US to UK and Canadian schools with equivalent German, Australian and Chinese ones used as a benchmark.

It’s so easy to get into IB from Northwestern. I would place it higher—literally don’t know a single normal person who didn’t get into the industry that wanted to.

Bocconi should be higher and Queens should be lower, they only place well in Canada (still second to McGill) 

UK is very wrong - if per capita, LSE is actually worse than Imperial, UCL and Warwick (go look at the career outcomes for LSE, 22% in all of finance and accounting out of how many trying?). And Manchester even being on this list is a joke. 

Lmao at HEC Montreal, if you include TUM might as well include other continental enginering schools like EPFL, TU Delft, Ecole Polytechnique. Engineering schools as targets is retarded most people do not care about banking/mbb there.

Also hate to break it to you but people have already done the dick measuring contest with the QS Ranking and THE Ranking

You obviously didn't go to any of the schools on the list if you refer to Penn as UPenn

Totally biased take on my end because I went there, but not seeing Vanderbilt on any of these rankings always is just as reflective of the forum’s bias. UChicago below Notre Dame and Georgetown? UChicago easily has one of the most revered economics departments in the US. 
 

Anecdotally, I completely agree with the Northwestern poster about everyone I knew that was set on going into IB or MBB landed it. Yes, there’s no dedicated undergrad B-school (which is irrelevant in my opinion). Yes, the school is geographically in a massive recruiting void. Regardless, from my experience the kids that wanted to go for one of these specific routes all made it happen. 
 

My main qualm with the ranking is what the hell is your methodology behind the “probability of breaking in”? Are you assuming that every person at every school is gunning for only the industries you listed? That would clearly skew your numbers heavily in favor of schools with a larger population interested in these jobs, as they’d place higher in aggregate and relative % purely based on the self-selection into those programs. 
 

End of the day, anyone at a T20 in the US can break in given that’s that’s a goal they commit to along with the other universal set of pre-requisites (GPA, major, etc.). And limiting that to just T20 is being conservative. No comment on outside the US I have limited context there. 

Just LMAO at the Canadian schools ordered in the list and LMAO at the metrics being used here.

UToronto (Rotman) above Queen's, McGill which are above Western's Ivey tells me a literal baboon made this list.

At least read the actual tier list in Canada everyone and their mothers knows about before u try and implement it into your garbage https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/here-are-the-target-undergraduat…;
