Would you send your DC to HYP so that they will find a quant job?

True. Most are on financial aid too.

It actually is but not attainable by most. If you’re from UMD, then of course quant isn’t your top priority because it’s way out of your league.

It actually isn't.

What are good schools the feed into quant jobs outside of HYPSM?

lol please stop. Quant is not ideal for many. For some, yes, for many, no.

The top 20-30 schools all feed…you have to pass the math and other interview challenges so it’s a bit more meritocratic.

I think everyone is too obsessed with quant vs other non-quant hedge fund positions. Quant is a very small group, while Citadel, Point 72 and other hire many more for portfolio management and other non-quant positions.

For those jobs, the top schools have outsized representation, especially Wharton and Harvard.

If they care about money they wouldn’t be in government.

Right? Sentence A negates Sentence B.

That list includes grad school so not a true UG list.

Why would you do that? Don't you go to HYP to change the world?

I can understand kids who go to MIT CMU etc tech schools do that. But HYP?

Bush and Vance both went to Yale. I think the world needs less "leaders" to change the world from Yale, that's for sure.

DP but it’s quite the opposite. Power in government can get you very rich. Look at the presidents, senators and congressmen. You’re an idiot if you don’t see this.

Presidents, senators and congressmen get rich and then run for office. Look at the ages of the people in those seats.

Most high powered positions are given to people who attained importance and wealth in industry, then asked to serve due to their expertise.

Though I agree that senators and congress people can get elected with no money or importance at all, not even particularly good degrees or knowledge, then become wealthy and important once in the position.

Or look at the Treasury Secretaries. Most were at Goldman, CEOs of companies, or in Bessent’s case, a hedge fund.
