[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been saying this for a while. The toxic college competition stems from companies that hire only from certain colleges. If so-called top-tier firms like Goldman Sachs and McKinsey hired from a broader range of schools, there wouldn’t be as much crazy competition for the top 10-20 schools.

Frankly, it’s also very short sighted of them as there are lots of smart and great kids at all schools. [b]Many kids can’t even consider applying to HPYSM due to finances[/b].[/quote]

BS. The schools that provide the best need-based financial aid all the way up to household incomes of around 250k are Princeton Penn Harvard and MIT.
 S and Y and a couple of others are the next best with aid. 250k is top 5% ihousehold income in this country. if your family makes more than that you can afford to be full pay. Heck many of us are doing it now with under 250k due to starting college before the need-aid increased, or just missing out on aid.

The elite companies prefer to maximize their search efficiency by targeting about 12-15 schools. So be it. [/quote]
