[quote=Anonymous]The Wall Street track at the SEC schools is pretty weak. The two year analyst programs are heavily biased toward the Ivies with only a relatively small minority recruited from state schools.  On the other hand, a huge number of traders come from more rough and tumble blue collar backgrounds.  The market makers and order execution firms that form the bulk of Wall Street personnel are stereotyped as crass, cigar-smoking, strip club going, casino betting bridge and tunnel types from Jersey and Long Island.  But, these are guys pulling high six figure salaries with seven figure bonuses in good years.

Fordham is the source of a huge number of these folks. Nice, relatively non-political Catholic school close to the great checkered tablecloth restaurants on Arthur Avenue. Fordham has close to a 50% acceptance rate so your stats are probably close to the typical student. For the kind of jobs I'm talking about, it's easier getting in the door from Fordham than Harvard. A paleo-conservative would easily fit in well..
