[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dartmouth is definitely more well-known in Wall Street. It's in the top 5 for how many students and alums work there per capita alongside HYP and Penn/Wharton. UChicago has a presence, no doubt, but Dartmouth has a huge alumni base there. Getting a job in Wall Street is all about connections.[/quote]

Yes heard this about Dartmouth too and because of that encouraged my DC to apply.  He wouldn't for other reasons so I freely admit I have no real insight into Dartmouth's results.   Not Dartmouth specific but I do wonder if the above relationship emphasis will continue to be as hugely relevant for our kids given the tech based future being forecasted for Wall Street.   There was something published about how Stanford's post graduation statistics are artificially lower, not because their graduates aren't wanted but because those same graduates are putting the BBs on hold while they see if tech offers come through, including fintech.  Of course relationships will always be important to get into first round interviews.    Quant/Tech connections and pull are somewhat more egalitarian due to the specialized skills required.  That also affects being able to successfully pull investors from tech money.  What do you on this board forecast?

Yes Stanford is recruited heavily but Stanford kids are not as interested they are much more interested in tech. Even the ones interested in business they usually go for tech ib/consulting or fin tech. The tech branches of  the major investment banks etc are located in the bay area. It is not surprising that people do not want to leave SF for NYC. [/quote]
