[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought it was good and covered all bases, except one, that I continue to rant about. Part of the reason there is so much competition for the top schools is because so-called elite employers only recruit from them. We need companies to see that there are tons of bright students everywhere. Just look at the girl profiled in the article who is clearly smart and likely has a ton of grit. She's going to Hunter College where no investment bank or MBB would ever look to hire from. Until that mindset is broken, things will not change. [/quote] It said she ended up getting a full-ride from Wesleyan at the last minute, so she is going there. Believe that is on these companies' target list. Also, I believe that City University in NY is a big feeder of employees to Wall Street. I bet Hunter does OK too because of location. Both I assume hire kids as interns and then extend FT offers to the kids that do well.[/quote] I think you’re missing the larger point that PP was making, which was spot on. [/quote]
