Hi,

Oh. I forgot to mention my goals.

1) I wanted to major in finance and then get into i-banking(equities). So i would want a school that is well connected with this industry. then he alumnis are also working for i-banks.

2) about USC a few ppl ha mentioed that is a strong programe and preferd more so in the SC(south california) but out side the SC it isnt that greatly prefered. wht are ur takes on that ?

3) besides i just checked the site of vanderbilt. they seem to have a lotta I-banks recruiting there. so wouldnt u consider vanderblt a better choice than USC. whts ur take ?


k12345,

I agree that USC's reputation beyond the West Coast is limited, more so than Haas and probably UCLA.

Yes, given your goals, of the schools you mentioned financial services industry recruiters hire larger percentages of graduates from Yale and Vanderbilt than from any of the others. Other schools ranked highly by financial services recruiters include UNC, GWU, Wake Forest, Western Ontario, and Thunderbird, among others.
