[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends. If the hiring manager is also college athlete the nod will go to the athlete candidate. Particularly in IB , which is chock of former D1 athletes, playing a sport gives you a leg up.[/quote] As a parent of a kid playing a sport at an Ivy, what my daughter tells me is that an athlete sitting in the middle of the pack of their class cannot compete for the plum internships or first year finance jobs with the kids graduating at the very top. Similar with places like McKinsey. If you are at the top of your class AND an athlete, absolutely. But it’s not like they are rolling out the red carpet for the highest risk buy side roles just because you are an athlete. There’s mythology about the Ivy-alumni-athlete in finance person that is exaggerated. [/quote] That is why Williams, Amherst, and Middlebury are great picks for finance. Great pipelines with heavy hitting alum networks with easy access to clubs and connections.[/quote]
