US News 2010 University Rankings

From what I've heard people with any degree from Oxbridge/LSE are highly regarded by investment banks, which US unis have a similar reputation among investment banks? I'm guessing obviously the likes Harvard, Yale and Princeton, but which others? Thanks

Wharton, MIT, Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst.

thanks for that link

was surprised to see that Wharton wasn't top.

What about Chicago, Georgetown, Brown, Cornell, Berkeley, Stanford, NYU, Duke, Johns Hopkins and Penn (but not Wharton)?

Did you want a complete listing of every university in the US or a list of those that are particularly successful at getting their graduates into IB ?

If you want the former, you could have a few thousand names on the There were 4182 in 2004. http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d04/tables/dt04_244.asp

Duke, Upenn etc. Half the trading floor at Goldman Sachs NY are Duke Alum, Morgan Stanley CEO is a Duke Alum and on the Duke Board of Trustees. UChicago, MIT are for analysts. Basically investment banks hire from all the top schools as long as your get half decent grades or you are extremely active.

edit - dont go to an undergrad business school.... kids there are douches generally and it ruins the whole point of getting a liberal arts education.

What about McGill?

What about it ?
It is a third tier university in Canada, comparable to your Durham or Warwick. It is virtually unknown outside Canada.

That's funny.

Third tier? Warwick, Durham and McGill are third tier?! What elitist planet do you come from?
