Targets for MBB (Undergrad)

Which schools would you consider targets for MBB and for which offices?

Also, I was admitted to Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, and UT Austin. All for computer science. Which one would be the best for getting a job at MBB after.

I go to a different SEC school in the Southeast. Choose Vandy. You can recruit for MBB, or if you change your mind and want to do IB you can do that. All three schools place well for MBB though (GIT - Atlanta office, UT - Texas offices). But with Vandy you will undoubtedly get the best social life along with going to a great school.

 

UT Austin is a great option as well. MBB placements are primarily for the Dallas and Houston offices but you're allowed to apply for any of the southern offices and I know people have gotten offers in Atlanta before for Mckinsey. In terms of social life, UT Austin definitely is up there. Given that it's a massive school, there's so many opportunities to find a great friend group. Beyond that, Austin is an incredible city with sixth street, all the nature, cool concerts, etc. Regardless, all 3 are good options.
