[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quality of the peer group is vastly different vs. non T20 IMO.  [/quote]

With holistic admissions and current preferences for athletes, first gen and pell grant eligible, this is not true,  Lots if kids at T50 or even T75 who have stats for T20 but didn’t get in due to the aforementioned preferences, were hurt by average ecs, or college’s desire for geographical diversity.[/quote]

The quality of the kid might be more similar.

But what firms are actually hiring from there? And what percentage of their starting first year analyst class is coming from a T75? I’d argue very few.

At the end of the day that’s what matters. All of the other stuff on this website is nonsense.

Well, that only matters for the sliver of the class interested in private equity or investment banking, so really not that relevant for most.[/quote]

And most for PE need an MBA, and yes, then it DOES matter where you go.  Most PE firms hire from 1 or 2 specific MBA programs (depends largely upon where the top partners got their MBAs).    But undergrad, it doesn't matter

You would have us believe that the odds of admission to top MBA programs are the same from all undergraduate institutions?[/quote]

The kids who end up at top MBA programs are similar strivers/had the resume for a T25 undergrad/did well in undergrad no matter where they went.  So while Suzie Q from state U who got a 3.0 in undergrad and didn't have a shot at T25 undergrad  doesn't likely have a good shot at Harvard MBA, Suzie Z from State U who got a 3.98 in undergrad honors program, did research, had 2 summer internships, excellent recommendations and was 1500+/3.9+UW/10 AP+ in HS and just didn't win the lottery for T25 (or didn't win the financial lottery as well) and chose to attend State U honors program and excel, well Suzie Z has just as good of chance at ending up at Harvard.  It's just that a much higher percentage of kids at Harvard have the drive to excel at that level than at State U.  they also come from a background that will push them to elite grad schools and more often can afford the elite grad schools.  The avg kid from Kansas State doesn't apply to Harvard MBA because they cannot afford it....they go local or somewhere their employer will help pay for.
