[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, so what does DCUM recommend for a kid who has good stats? DC does not have a particular passion for anything and is pretty much open to studying anything except the humanities (is decent but still hate writing). Seems every careers is up in the air with AI. I don't think he can handle plumbing (not very handy and probably does not have the strength to lift anything too heavy) [/quote]

What are favorite subjects and topics?

Lots of anthropology majors at Dartmouth and Yale end up in consulting or finance…[/quote]

Those people have "connections" that regular students and Yale and Dartmouth do not.  You're a fool if you think otherwise.[/quote]

DP but lots of ivy/+ topLACs go into consulting because the companies actively recruit at these schools. We know plenty who have zero connections personally, the connections were all because they attended that college. The one we know best , she and BF both recruited, moved to DC, 3rd yr in and now one of them goes to the alma mater to recruit new hires. They were just regular admits, average students. Not MBB but a “known” fortune 150 type company . They have lists of target colleges where they start searches. They hire humanities and tech majors and the typical Econ major. [/quote]
