[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well…. I have twins…. Both just graduated…..one at an Ivy, the other at a t50 private.

They both studied Economics….. one has 2 job offers as if April….. the other still looking for a job.[/quote]

This is so interesting.  I heard of a study that tried to figure out how much college prestige helps with the job outcome using identical twins and found not much of a difference.  But obviously not in your case.  Maybe that is because they were looking for a job in finance? This is a field where college prestige still matters and top firms recruit mostly from target schools.

They cast a wide net. From consulting, to street finance/ib, etc.

We dont like it. we think they equally smart and qualified. But the fact is that my Ivy kid had doors opened and opportunities that my t50 kid didnt. I’m sure he will be fine and might eventually end up the same or better, but the starting point is not equal. People here can say what they want, we are experiencing this right now. [/quote]
