Which universities do top investment banks and consulting firms hire from?Typically, where does someone from Goldman Sachs or McKinsey & Co. go to school? I'm talking strictly straight out of undergrad. Are there certain schools they recruit from? Are there certain schools they will only hire from? Thanks! |
Eeach bank has a different list of target schools. This list generally comprises schools that are heavily represented at the bank (i.e. lots of MDs are alums from a particular school) or schools with which the bank has had historically strong relations.
General targets include:
Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Stanford
Wharton
Duke
Michigan
To a lesser effect:
Dartmouth
Penn
Brown
Cornell
MIT
NYU
UVA
Georgetown
For West-coast banking:
Berkeley
UCLA
Stanford
You'll also get the occasional kid from Baruch, BC, etc.
Ivy League Schools. Probably Harvard, Yale, or Wharton.
