[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not read the whole thread, but a Caucasian White Male at a Top 25 is going up against diversity recruitment targets at these companies, so he would be at a disadvantage no matter what school he goes to. Are you sure that the kids landing the big jobs from Penn State for example aren’t connected and strings weren’t pulled for them? Regardless, I would advise your DS to adjust the companies / jobs he is targeting… aim for mid tier or niche consulting for example….or aim for locations outside of the key offices. And, if you have any contacts or family connections at all, now is the time to pull them. Lastly, The recruitment cycle for consulting and finance internships for summer 2024 are pretty much over, they hire 12-18 months in advance, so if he doesn’t have anything lined up for next summer, he needs to go back to the drawing board and come up with a plan B[/quote]

There aren’t diversity recruitment targets. Stop lying. Maybe with the federal government. With the private sector forget it. [/quote]

Universities also have diversity target (for their employees). In fact, when you get accredited, they will rate both the diversity of your students AND faculty. [/quote]
