[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, if I was looking at two kids: 1) the quiet, studious valedictorian 2) the outgoing soccer team captain who was a B student and I had to guess who would end up making a lot of money, I would bet on the B student. No question. Yes, a lot of big law people went to fancy colleges (or at least fancy law schools) but lots of people in finance and other fields are successful by being smart enough and having good leadership/social skills.[/quote] I know lots of people in finance in NYC and they all went to top colleges and also were the outgoing soccer team captain or similar and the valedictorian. Their firms don't hire people who did not go to top colleges and the ivies don't take kids who were "just" the valedictorian; the kids who get into those schools have much more than top grades.[/quote]
