Ivy pluses pretty much sign up for their first job, barring extraordinary circumstances like pandemic.

Go on any elite private or top public subreddit. Look at different times during the year. Grim posts about kids applying to hundreds of internships & jobs and getting nowhere. Especially UMich.


That said, there’s a stereotype of Reddit users being antisocial shut-ins, so that might have something to do with it.

Going to the elite U only gets you the extra interviews. If you haven't done the work and have the resume, you are not going to get hired.

Btw Deloitte/KPMG/PWC/EY consulting won’t even look at your app beyond ~T100 schools.

WTF? These are not prestigious places. They will probably hire more consultants from schools like Michigan State than an Ivy. They hire armies of consultants, mostly for tech projects, grind them down with billable hours, and then 1/3 will quit each year to go work for companies.

The people at Ivies that work for the Big 4 accounting firm's consulting units are basically international students because a lot of the more prestigious or desirable employers won't go through the immigration and visa hoops beyond 1 year for the student visa, but these mega firms will. They stick around until their work status stabilizes and then bolt.

It doesn't really matter if you want to live a nice life, though some majors clearly have better outcomes than others.

However, this does not dispute the fact that the top schools produce an inordinate number of successful entrepreneurs and attract an inordinate amount of venture capital (https://pitchbook.com/news/articles/pitchbook-university-rankings).

In fact, an inordinate number of Top 10 school graduates dominate the ranks of venture capital firms (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/16/these-12-schools-produce-the-most-venture-capitalists.html).

If you want to break into Hollywood...it's not rocket science that yes it helps / matters that you attend USC (also, USC is actually the #1 school where SpaceX recruits, so maybe it is rocket science).

One can go on-and-on.

EY, Accenture, Capital One, etc. are hiring hundreds of kids each year and absolutely cast a wide net.

There just seems like some weird, reflexive group on DCUM that goes to great lengths to justify maybe a kid's rejection, or didn't even apply because could not afford it, etc.

Literally the first profile I looked at proves you wrong about your second statement. You really shouldn't make ridiculous claims and expect no one to check up on you.
