According to chatgpt - Jane Street data
For Interns (2025 cohort, ~72 people)
Stanford: 6 interns
University of Chicago: 5
UC Berkeley: 4
Harvard: 4
Tied at 3 interns each: Cambridge, Yale, and six other schools

Note: MIT and Waterloo, though strong pipelines, had just 1 intern each in this particular group

Full‑time / Current Employees
MIT dominates (~76 alumni at Jane Street)
University of Cambridge: ~67
Oxford: ~62


Top North American schools among employees include (but aren’t limited to): Carnegie Mellon, Berkeley, Harvard, Princeton


In APAC: University of Waterloo (engineering interns), University of Hong Kong (APAC hires) also feature prominently

.

🧭 Summary Table
Group Most Represented Schools
Interns Stanford, UChicago, UC Berkeley, Harvard
Full‑time staff MIT, Cambridge, Oxford; Carnegie Mellon, Harvard, Berkeley, Princeton (NA)

Key Takeaways
MIT leads overall, especially for full-time roles.

For 2025 interns, Stanford and Chicago are top feeders.

Cambridge and Oxford have strong full-time representation, less so among interns.

Jane Street also pulls from strong public STEM schools like UC Berkeley, CMU, Waterloo, and UT Austin.

Jane Street focuses heavily on STEM-heavy campuses with strong math, computer science, and engineering programs. While brand-name universities dominate, they will still consider talent from top public and international STEM schools—especially during staff hires as opposed to internships .

TL;DR
Jane Street interns most come from Stanford, Chicago, Berkeley, and Harvard. Full-time staff are mostly from MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, with strong representation from elite STEM schools worldwide. Yet you don’t have to attend an Ivy‑name school—outstanding performance from top STEM public or international schools can still land you a role.

mmkay. not true for any top companies. they all still target Ivies and stanford, MIT, Williams, and few others. Career outcomes pages available online confirm the top hiring at ivies are highly desirable companies with starting salaries averaging 90-100k for many majors. Only Berkeley comes close, as far as state schools, and that is because it is considered a target school for STEM majors.

This is so ignorant of how campus recruiting works today, especially at top undergrad business schools.

DP it is how my company recruits and many similar companies that target the same 15 or so schools. Math, engineering, physics, econ, and some other areas some years. Tech consulting. Undergrad business does not matter at all to us unless Wharton or MIT level. The quantitative skills need to be top notch. We expand our search if we do not find what we want at targets.

Who cares how your specific tech consulting company recruits? MBB, Goldman, JPM, Google, Amazon plus a whole bunch of others—you’ll find them at the top business schools across the country, and plenty of other good schools to fill regional offices (Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, etc.). This isn’t the 90s anymore.

These companies 100% preferentially hire from ivy-+ targets for their top paying new grad jobs.

Other interns at this company attend, Georgia Tech, UVA, Ohio State, Va Tech, among others. No matter what dcum tells you, it comes down to what you do once you are in college. All interns are really bright. No not all hired on the business side. Some CS students are there too. Hope this helps some panicked parents..

I think it depends on the internship. DC is at a highly selective stem/engineering one and 31% of the 58 spots are students from T15s, ie Ivies/MIT/Stanford/Duke/Northwestern/Chicago/UCB. Every Ivy but one is represented, some multiple. Students from the "next tier" make up another 25%, either T25ish overall (ie rice, ucla, uva, notre dame, michigan) or top 5-6 STEM that are not generally considered t25 (UIUC, GT, Harvey Mudd, Olin). The rest are from mostly T30-100ish, and many HBCUs and LACs.
Glancing at the list one could think oh any school could get a kid here, but yet the T15 and the next tier are both significantly overrepresented.

lol - laughable at putting anyone of these schools ahead of GTech as the "next tier" in engineering/stem. You must not be very involved in hiring in the industry or networking within it.

You actually can. Top of the food chain firms (in this case prop trading and HF) have similar distribution across those schools.

According to chatgpt - Jane Street data
For Interns (2025 cohort, ~72 people)
Stanford: 6 interns
University of Chicago: 5
UC Berkeley: 4
Harvard: 4
Tied at 3 interns each: Cambridge, Yale, and six other schools






Note: MIT and Waterloo, though strong pipelines, had just 1 intern each in this particular group

Full‑time / Current Employees
MIT dominates (~76 alumni at Jane Street)
University of Cambridge: ~67
Oxford: ~62


Top North American schools among employees include (but aren’t limited to): Carnegie Mellon, Berkeley, Harvard, Princeton


In APAC: University of Waterloo (engineering interns), University of Hong Kong (APAC hires) also feature prominently

🧭 Summary Table
Group Most Represented Schools
Interns Stanford, UChicago, UC Berkeley, Harvard
Full‑time staff MIT, Cambridge, Oxford; Carnegie Mellon, Harvard, Berkeley, Princeton (NA)

Key Takeaways
MIT leads overall, especially for full-time roles.

For 2025 interns, Stanford and Chicago are top feeders.

Cambridge and Oxford have strong full-time representation, less so among interns.

Jane Street also pulls from strong public STEM schools like UC Berkeley, CMU, Waterloo, and UT Austin.

Jane Street focuses heavily on STEM-heavy campuses with strong math, computer science, and engineering programs. While brand-name universities dominate, they will still consider talent from top public and international STEM schools—especially during staff hires as opposed to internships .

TL;DR
Jane Street interns most come from Stanford, Chicago, Berkeley, and Harvard. Full-time staff are mostly from MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, with strong representation from elite STEM schools worldwide. Yet you don’t have to attend an Ivy‑name school—outstanding performance from top STEM public or international schools can still land you a role.

This reddit poster seemed to have taken an even deeper dive on this issue. Interesting.

Yeah. This seems to more of an accurate representation. Several employers.
