According the WSO Investment Banking Industry Report, we have found the top ten target schools in 2017 to be:
- University of Pennsylvania
- New York University
- Harvard University
- University of Cambridge
- Cornell University
- The University of Texas at Austin
- Columbia University
- Duke University
- University of Chicago
- University of Michigan
These top 10 schools represent ~22% of all recruitment and hiring of bulge bracket banks in 2017.
The below picture, a screen shot from the WSO Investment Banking University Report shows the percentage of the recruiting class that comes from each school. You can find out about the recruitment from various schools in the report.
However, there are many other universities that make up the remaining 78% of all bulge bracket bank hires. Some other notable universities include:
- Yale University
- University of Cambridge
- University of Virginia (UVA)
- Boston College
- Duke University
- UCLA
- London School of Economics
- Princeton University
- Georgetown
- Northwestern University
- Arizona State University
- Brigham Young University
- Georgia Institute of Technology
- Penn State University
These firms all place well on Wall Street and are targets at particular firms. For example - Penn State is a target school at Bank of America Merrill Lynch but not at JP Morgan. This is not just true for non-ivy league schools. WSO's research indicates that Harvard, UPenn, NYU, and Duke were the only schools in the top ten listed schools that were targeted by all big banks. You can read more about this statistic in the WSO industry report.

Some of these firms have a more regional focus and also look to other schools aside from those mentioned. Some of the schools targeted by these firms include:

- Indiana University
- Vanderbilt University
- University of California, Berkeley
- University of Southern California, USC
- UCLA
- Dartmouth
- University of Illinois at Urbana
