[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brown, since at least half of the student body there has parents who work for hedge funds and investment banks.[/quote]

and where do you get that data?[/quote]

Kid goes there.  It is common knowledge.  Obviously, there will never be an official “database” of where parents work/profession, but this statement about representation in hedge fund, private equity, IB is absolutely true.  Yes, it is NYC centric.  Having said that, students are impressive in their own right.  Econ/CS and Econ/Applied Math are two concentrations that are popular and tends to feed this pipeline to Wall Street.  Chicago is also a great school, but very different.[/quote]

No where near half the students are from the New York area and for those that are, I doubt all (or even half) have a hedge fund parent. How would your child even begin to know this, since at best he only knows the occupations of his friends' parents?[/quote]

Ok, you are being far too literal.  Yes, not half but substantial and, no, NYC centric does not literally mean half the students are from NYC.  I think you missed the broader point by being too literal.[/quote]
