[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]citadel is a multi strategy firm and quant is a big strategy there and yes the quant shops love technical majors......

but you cant do quant venture capital, private equity, investment banking, consulting......harvard, wharton and other Ivys excels in placement there......and there is a lot more hiring for these students than the few hundred getting quant positions.......

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]there seems to be some notion that many kids from engineering, comp science, physics and math are going into quant firms --- it is a small fraction of grads and most come from MIT

quant firms are trendy and profitable but wont continue to grow at recent pace,

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hedge fund PM here. I cannot believe this is even a question.

If your kid is interested in finance, Wharton unequivocally.

If I look at our analysts, over 50% of them are from Wharton. I don't recall every even interviewing someone from Emory.

For us, the only place that is a credible hiring alternative to Wharton for younger analysts is the finance-oriented subgroup at Harvard. Our historic experience that while the average technical skill level of Harvard undergrads is not the same of the kids we get from Wharton, our very best analysts have come from Harvard (in this set, better critical thinking skills, more imaginative when it comes to unstructured problems).[/quote]

Aren't you hiring more SEAS grads than Wharton grads?

All the quant firms stalk the Penn engineering/physics/math kids and barely give Wharton kids the time of day.

How many analysts does your firm hire in total?[/quote][/quote]

Is Citadel a quant firm?  They are definitely more interested in the math/engineering/physics kids vs. the average Wharton kid.

Just did a linkedin search of Citadel, over 100 Emory grads and most only had a BBA. [/quote]
