[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You must be living under the rock.  It does happen on a regular basis.  My DS is an athlete at an Ivy, and he provided free private tennis lessons for one of the professors.  The professor recommended DS to one of his SVP buddies at an investment company for several internship opportunities.  According to the professor, there were at least seven candidates who were more qualified for those internships, but DS got the nod because the professor appreciated DS took the time to train his kid.  DS ended up with internships in his sophomore and junior year.  He received a full-time offer to work there after graduation in May 2024.

"Top colleges are about networking, they aren't a community college career training program." is absolutely correct.[/quote]

That is not networking that is quid pro quo.[/quote]

Please tell me why it is a quid pro quo.  Professors can recommend internships to their former colleagues any students they like.  It happens all the time in the real world.[/quote]
