Actually, no. But I knew for a second it would breed envy among everyone here who knows absolutely nothing about finance except that one firm. I love when people name drop where their kid is working, have no clue what they are referring to, but act like an expert. No one has done it yet, but it will happen. Oh yes, it will.

I actually know a kid who had an offer there after last summer, although I have no idea if he accepted it. I hadn’t heard of it until I met him, so I won’t pretend to be an expert.

Looking and applying for retail in the meantime. December grad though.

I’ve never heard of this. Almost always a PhD admission is separate of masters admission and masters students typically can’t just continue onto a PhD program, since those are funded opportunities that drain resources. Is it an unfunded PhD offer?

I coached a kid (in an unrelated activity) who is headed there this summer. He is extremely brilliant (national math competition winner).

I believe it’s this building technology program. She has been advised that the PhD option isn’t guaranteed but that students who choose to continue on are rarely denied the opportunity to do so. https://architecture.mit.edu/building-technology#graduate-programs

In engineering and CS, one generally can proceed to a PhD after a masters program. As with anything on the globe, exceptions will exist someplace.
