I'm not sure, but I do know that Vanderbilt, WashU, and Tulane participate in a consortium off campus interview programs in NY, DC, and GA (WashU does not participate in the CA off campus program).StateSchoolSplitter wrote:Can someone please provide numbers for Washington University's placement into non-midwestern cities (specifically Boston, NYC, D.C., San Francisco, and Los Angeles)?

Thanks all in advance

Waiting for the Cubs to win? No wonder your correcting people's grammar online; that's a lot of time to kill.
Okay, and we all know to trust the data released on official university websites. Regardless, I'm looking for a bit more.Patriot1208 wrote:Bro, this is right on their website. It took me three seconds to find.

Wait, what? Schools lie about employment data and salary data all the time. You said all you cared about was finding out where WUSTL places alltogether. There is no reason not to trust the geographical breakdown.StateSchoolSplitter wrote:Okay, and we all know to trust the data released on official university websites.

Can you, or anyone, provide more information on this? I hadn't heard of the program before.Aberzombie1892 wrote:I'm not sure, but I do know that Vanderbilt, WashU, and Tulane participate in a consortium off campus interview programs in NY, DC, and GA (WashU does not participate in the CA off campus program).StateSchoolSplitter wrote:Can someone please provide numbers for Washington University's placement into non-midwestern cities (specifically Boston, NYC, D.C., San Francisco, and Los Angeles)?

Ties are important, particularly outside of St. Louis and NYC.
I care if by Pacific they mean Sacramento, or if by mid-Atlantic they mean Baltimore, etc. It seems like an important distinction.Patriot1208 wrote:Wait, what?

And you aren't going to find anything more because no one else cares to look beyond that.
Fair. I just would appreciate the numbers broken down into cities rather than ambiguous regions.flcath wrote:Bro, I doubt they're lying about this.StateSchoolSplitter wrote:Okay, and we all know to trust the data released on official university websites.

The regions aren't ambiguous they are the census bureau regions and you aren't going to find it broken down in cities, I promise you.StateSchoolSplitter wrote:Fair. I just would appreciate the numbers broken down into cities rather than ambiguous regions.
What you want is the firms into which WUSTL grads place. More important than your distinction is that you'd like to be able to tell a Cravath associate from a Walmart one.StateSchoolSplitter wrote:I care if by Pacific they mean Sacramento, or if by mid-Atlantic they mean Baltimore, etc. It seems like an important distinction.Patriot1208 wrote:Wait, what?

Thanks. Not sure what your last sentence means, though.flcath wrote:What you want is the firms into which WUSTL grads place.

Look directly on large firm websites and search for WUSTL grads. My impression of the school is that it attracts self-selecting middle Americans.
I wonder what it takes to be that 1/3 of the class. I'm sure that's not the top 1/3.Patriot1208 wrote:Basically your answe is this
New england = 3% - this includes Boston and surrounding states, probably most of this is boston
Mid-Atlantic = 14% - It's pretty easy to think most of this is NYC
South Atlantic = 17% - DC is included in this but a lot of other states that people may want to move to as well, probably only half of this is DC.
Pacific = 8% - Most of this will be LA and SF
Total = Probably around 1/3 of the class ends up in the cities you want. How the job breakdown in those goes is anyones guess.
That is as detailed as you'll get.
