[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduate a “third tier” MBA part time MBA program at 29 but already worked in a Wall Street in A corporate function . I had connections and I did so a management training program on Wall Street at 23. I had interview to be a trader and investment banker.

I recall Morgan Stanley my trader interview was all tall white Catholic good looking guys from rich neighborhoods and a lot played Lacrosse and a lot of Georgetown, Villanova or Boston University graduates.

My FX more quant type interview at a European IB more Phd or quants nerdier guys.

I made it second round snooty bank and was told congrats I got furthest in interview process from a local third tier MBA program,

Morgan Stanley I finished whole interview process and HR told me I look good to be hired as a Securities Lending Trader trainee. My mgt training program I was assigned sec lending and was did the ops and back office for it three years from 23-27. But Morgan Stanley had a huge loss and did a hiring freeze next day. I never got the job.

But remember without a fancy MBA I only hit that far at Morgan Stanley as I am six foot two inch, Irish Catholic, had several person references and knew the product and an MBA.

Some of the rich kids landed that job at 21 out of Amherst or Georgetown. And I got no job. No one else wanted me with a third tier MBA.

The right school, sport, looks and connections are important.

Not bitter or anything as I have friends who did graduate right college but graduated spring 2002 or 2009 when no one hiring so that also sucks [/quote]
Thank you for being honest also, yes HYP are not the only target schools and honestly most won't see a difference in the first ranked school and 20th ranked school. [/quote]

Reading over their experience, it seems like your statement is true if the person is a white male athlete from a rich family.  They have the right “look”. And twenty years from now these guys vote trump because they “earned” it. [/quote]
