Companies like us because we are strong in math and data analytical skills which of course, very useful in finance roles. Although it's true that we're not core school for finance, but the second years who pursue IB/Corporate Finance roles can get their internship on prestigious places. In fact, our second years converted their internship to full time job for IB roles in banks such as CS, DB, JPM, Morgan Stanley, Jefferies, and BoAML to name a few. For IB roles, no matter where you go for school, you will need dedication and effort to get the job such as go to NY every weekend for the whole 3 months of recruitment to network, meet alumni for coffee chat etc. For corporate finance is a bit easier because of less networking needed for that role.
Patar is right, this is spot on. A good amount of the people that set out to do IB ended up with IB, not everyone but a pretty high percentage. Then there's Corp Fin that a lot of people do and is also finance. The reason our numbers are low for IB yes because we're not known for our finance, but also because we're a small school and one where most people are interested in consulting or Tech. If you're looking to get into a Hedge Fund it'll be very hard, like everywhere else.
