[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend’s son is a business major at a middling state flagship. He applied, and worked very hard, to win a coveted internship working on the school’s endowment. Through this connection he is now interning at a PE firm where all of the other interns go to Princeton. So yes, he is working side by side with Princeton kids but he knows that he will have to work twice as hard to get the same respect from his peers and bosses.[/quote] As someone who sits on the other side of the desk I can assure you your assumption is wrong. All new interns or analysts are treated and viewed equally regardless of where they went to school. They are all given equal chances to prove themselves. No one is looked at more critically due to where they went to school. I don't care where my best performers went to college. Some went to Ivies, some went to state universities. I can't speak for specific industries or firms but in real life once you're in your first job no one cares where you went to undergrad. [/quote] This. Aside from a handful of hedge funds run by dinosaurs, no one cares once you’re through the door.[/quote]
