[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a recent Art History grad from HYPS who works at MBB. Her parents weren't super connected or wealthy (probably HHI of 300-500k), but she was in a "top" sorority and attended prep school. But besides her, every humanities major I know in investment banking or prestige consulting is very wealthy/connected or a [b]varsity athlete.[/b][/quote]

This is the key that opens the doors for kids from Ivies and NESCAC schools. People hate it but it is true.[/quote]

Seeing most of the crew and lacrosse boys at Ivy getting a lot of the coffee chats[/quote]

I know of a NESCAC that had six girls on their volleyball team with IB internships over one summer. A mix of sophomores and juniors but basically a third of the team.[/quote]
To spell this out for people: this is a reason for non-athletes to avoid these schools and go to national universities. The odds still may not be good, but they are much better than if attending a school with 35% athletes — who get the most desired jobs.[/quote]
