学院决定for PE/IB

Hi, high school senior here. Fortunate enough to have been admitted REA to Stanford and received likely letters from Dartmouth/Columbia.

My question is, between these schools, as well as NYU Stern and Williams, which one will set me up best for a career inIB/PE?

我倾向于斯坦福大学,但也听到了关于达特茅斯和哥伦比亚校友网络的出色声音,在斯特恩的课堂上学习融资确实对我有吸引力。我还听说过Stern,哥伦比亚的位置最适合网络。

很想听听任何想法,特别是从行业中的人或那些经历招聘的人,而不是像我这样的其他无知的高中生/新生。谢谢

谢谢你的回复,你觉得有我rit to comments I've heard from Stern and Columbia students telling me Stanford isn't the best choice because of fewer alumni in finance?

Sure, there's less alumni, but with the Stanford name you won't have trouble getting interviews, especially for buyside

斯坦福大学100%。

Sure, you'll see more representation from your other options in finance, but that's a product of self-selection given that Stanford kids tend to prefer more tech-related stuff. Even if you're interested in a firm that doesn't really have Stanford alumni I doubt you'll have issues networking and getting into those processes given the strength of your school. I'm at a school where we don't get many looks given that finance isn't very popular here too but I haven't really had a problem getting on the phone with professionals because my school has a strong reputation.

Bro if you take Stern over Stanford you will regret that decision for the rest of your life. There is only one correct decision here amongst these schools

Stanford, and then do tech, keeping finance as a fallback. Trust me this industry is dying but keeps peddling the lie you'll make partner with carry.

Stanford, unless you're really big into the smaller school culture and liberal arts focus then Williams (Williams rep and alums are extremely strong as well).

斯坦福>达特茅斯>哥伦比亚>>>>>威廉姆斯>>>>斯特恩

Make you sure check out the aid package too. When I was in undergrad, Columbia gave me the least among the Ivies in terms of financial aid (not material). An extra10K a year从达特茅斯(Dartmouth)与斯坦福大学(Stanford),我的达特茅斯(Dartmouth)会让我瘦。

angry Stern kids throwin MS lol.. tbf would probably swap Williams and Stern for finance - no one knows NESCAC schools outside of the northeast really (though *MS inbound* both are likely where you end up if you dont get into the former)

Stanford should be your go-to. If you didn't like the campus vibe, Dartmouth and Columbia aren't too shabby either.

Do NOT go to Shitford. Overrated dumbass school for pussies who can't handle real weather. Undergrad is shit-tier (tier 8/9) for anything exceptCS, 他们的MBA从我听到的话来说是不错的。

I'd choose Dartmouth for the social scene, alumni network and prestige. Columbia and Stern have shit culture and social scenes. Williams is decent.

I'd rank them as:

1。Dartmouth

2。Columbia/Williams

3.船尾

4。Stanford

well duh, but the girls at Stanford are better than those at Dartmouth and Columbia. I agree that USC girls are in a different tier. Gamedays were always fun with the SC crowd.

南加州大学的学生在这里。可以确认,但是SMU现在正在夺取我们的顶级人才,因为学校变得更加艰难。

老实说,如果您只想进行西海岸的招聘(尤其是洛杉矶),并在这里留在这里,我可能会推荐USC在斯坦福大学以外的任何地方。将40个孩子送到顶部EBandBBSeach year, and get to join a top 2-3 fraternity and literally rage face with the finest 18-21 year old girls you've ever seen (besides SMU again) like 4 nights a week. Show you have the slightest bit of intelligence and these girls think your marriage material. Settle down in Newport after banking, start a hedge fund, and just live life man.

My boy had a similar decision and selected the East Coast equivalent. It was a great choice for him. He hopes to secure a Quanttrading role通过毕业。今年夏天,他将以新生的身份在SV的一场faang工作。因此,来自斯坦福大学的学生不需要IBrole to reach the Buyside! The same cannot be said by students from many other schools.

Current Stanford student recruiting for banking. If you TRULY want to do banking/finance, I would caution against Stanford and encourage Columbia/Stern for these reasons:

1.您可能会失去对金融的兴趣,或者也无法发展这种兴趣(这可能是也可能不是一件好事)。校园里有一个很大的反金融倾向,这意味着没有财务班,很少的财务俱乐部,而且很少有进入金融的人。财务也被低估了。斯坦福大学的学习金融/招聘是一个非常孤独的过程,没有学校资源很少,其他几乎没有其他事情也是如此。manbetx3.0手机客户端在行业中有很多校友,所以这不必担心。

2。There's generally a very casual/lazy and unpre-professional culture at Stanford. Few people discuss career plans, business, etc. Few people actually desire and are working hard towardsPE/IB/HF/MBB。大多数人甚至都不知道PEis. Because of the West Coast, people are generally lazier. It wouldn't surprise me if among all the Ivies, Stanford sent the fewest % of students toIB/PE/MBB。This culture may not be the right one to foster thinking about your career. It certainly wasn't for me.

People generally think Stanford is an elite school simply because it's difficult to get enter. However, the general unpre-professional culture will not be the best to foster opportunities for a career in finance.

斯坦福大学最近明矾在这里。

I get where you're coming from but I think the conclusions you're making are off.

Is Stanford a finance driven school? Obviously not - students are more driven to tech. But if you want to get intoIB有足够的机会这样做。就像在任何学校一样,您只需要学会早日玩游戏即可。保持相当高的GPA,加入一家金融俱乐部或社区(例如布莱斯基金会,斯坦福金融,阿克皮斯),与金融上的上层阶级男人交朋友。这是您在任何学校必须做的。如果目标是每天与您的朋友一起在餐厅举行全金融课,并在餐厅谈论金融/职业,那么,是的,也许最好离开其他地方。但是,如果不这样做,完全有可能闯入财务,并且希望OP能够欣赏斯坦福大学为金融事业做准备外所提供的其他事情。

Secondly, you're falling into the common trap of mistaking duck syndrome for laziness. It's not that Stanford students are lazy or not driven, for better or worse it's a culture thing in California to not be overtly status chasing and just pretend like you're not trying. In reality people are just as competitive and career driven as any East coast Ivy. Class mates would constantly be telling me how they're failing all their classes and their GPA sucks, but the next day post on their LinkedIn that they're interning at Facebook orGS。For the naive (me for a while) it makes you think that opportunities just fall into your lap, but in reality people are all hustling behind the scenes. One of the best things about Stanford is that the culture is really collaborative, you just need to put yourself out there and ask. It just took me reaching out to other students and alums who had roles I wanted, and they were more than willing to refer me, connect me with people, etc. There's 0 ounce of cut throatness, everyone wants each other to succeed.

最后,不记得我在哪里看到这些数字,斯坦福大学实际上并不那么遥远IB/MBB。居st feels that way because of how much hype there is into FANG and tech.

绝对是哥伦比亚或斯坦福大学。不要考虑严厉,哥伦比亚将打开更多的门,而金融不足以使您需要在学校学习。答案实际上归结为:如果您想在纽约,去哥伦比亚。如果您想在CA,请前往斯坦福大学。哥伦比亚和斯坦福大学之间声望或机会的差异极为边缘(斯坦福大学的名字稍好,您可以在这一年/建造更好的简历中实习哥伦比亚),但是您还可以从中受益匪浅毕业后您想住的城市。这意味着巨大的自动内置网络,朋友等。斯坦福纽约representation and whereas it's an amazing school/great choice, it'd silly to go somewhere you will end up leaving the majority of your network and friends behind to hop across the country
