[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who has done a lot of recruiting for a desirable investment boutique, I find this ranking obsession to be silly. “Yes”, I like recruiting from good schools [b]but there are plenty of them[/b]. I wouldn’t give an edge to a Cornell grad over a Colgate grad (or name [b]+40[/b] other schools) based on the schools. Rather, I’m going to hire the candidate who is the best fit based on so many factors. I like smart, well rounded kids (better than nerds at evaluating management teams and such) who I think will be successful. They come from lots of schools. [/quote]

You literally said there are basically 40 schools out of 4000.  That's not plenty, just that it's more than Ivy+.[/quote]

I basically agree with the above but when I was referring to +40 I meant in addition to ivy+ and new ivies. We like to see good schools, including state flagships—so maybe 70 to 75 schools fit the bill. As to recruiting, it’s mostly online although we’ve recruited at local schools and, occasionally, schools attended by one of our key principals (all in the 70 to 75 mentioned above). [/quote]
