Why did the stock market fall today, after the FOMC statement?
I've asked similar questions before, but I'm wondering how much student debt the average target has on here? I'm generally extremely against debt, and am hesitant to take out loans even for a target school. I hope there is a way into a top MBA without a top undergraduate degree so...
How much student debt do you have?

What models that you learn in banking are also used in PE? Just LBO models or do you also sometimes do DCFs, comps, merger models, sum-of-parts, etc? I'm assuming you need to be able to build 3-statement operating models to power the LBO...
