What's the hardest job to get into?

Let's say your a top UG student at Harvard majoring in Economics or Wharton majoring in Finance. What's the hardest job to break into? Where do all these top students there or at the other schools desire to work at most?
I know top hedge funds like DE Shaw, Citadel, Paulson, Bridgewater, Soros, are insanely tough to break into.
I heard Citadel's analyst program is one of the toughest jobs to get for a college senior, harder than landing any BB group or even Blackstone PE analyst gig. Lastly if you could go work anywhere, where would it be?
