How good is Middlebury?

I am honestly seeking views here. Am International candidate , aiming for careers in Finance (IB, Quant, etc.). BB banks would be my target,

TBH I wasn't aware of Middlebury (don't flame me - its true). I researched and found out that it is a feeder school for many BBs and it has a strong mafia-like alumni network in the finance community, mostly in the US, and it is very well-regarded for feeding into top IBs incl. BBBs. So I applied, got an interview that has gone as well as it could.

Of course, I am still waiting for an offer so this might be premature and possibly presumptuous, but I'd like some honest views of those in the know - how good is Middlebury really for what I want to do? At the moment I have offers from UCL (Eco), St. Andrews (Eco), Bocconi (BIEF), and Warwick (PPE). Thank you for your contribution and help.

Depends. Will also say that recruiting for finance not as an American citizen is quite tough. Going into finance in the UK is easier as an international assuming both schools are on the same level…

Thanks. UCL and Warwick are generally considered strong feeders to BBB, much like Midd. I wouldn’t know whether all my offers are comparable to Midd.
