Where this leads
Real career pipelines from this school, based on alumni outcomes and recruiting patterns.
- Finance/banking internships via NYC/Boston proximity, but second-tier compared to Ivy peers
- Tech recruiting to SF/Seattle is solid; campus isn't target-tier for top firms
- Nonprofit/NGO pipeline strong; many grads stay in Northeast doing education/social work
- Accounting Big Four recruiting solid; regional offices hire steady flow of grads
- Management consulting mid-market firms (Deloitte Consulting, not MBB); geography limits top recruiting
