Question For Target School Alumni

Does it make you feel insecure that you paid hundreds of thousands at an Ivy to study Roman History and became a shitty banker, while that non target business student is top-bucket and landed in a elite pe firm?

I would feel pretty sad.

 

I'm pretty sure he's actually a senior that just graduated high school and one of the most annoying people that just joined this forum. Dude was asking how IU placed in IB and he wouldn't need to if he actually went to the school. Also, he acts like a 13 year old.

 

Honestly, as a nontarget, I'm disappointed I didn't have the opportunity to study something like Roman History. I had to major in business at my school because to do otherwise would be a red flag while I was recruiting. Granted, I got to minor in two cool subjects that have nothing to do with business. But I wish I had the opportunity to have majored in them rather than minored in them as I barely scratched the surface. Plus those departments are extremely limited at my school so there's not much beyond the minor courses that are decent.

Virtually nothing I've learned as a business major has been relevant to what I've done in IB. Only my basic accounting classes were relevant, but I could have learned to wrap my head around the major financial statements on my own in not that much time.

 

Well, you clearly went to some state school like Wisconsin or Penn State then

 

Per capita, NW sends way more to IBD, and to better firms. While it's not as good as Chicago, it's much better than Ross or Stern.

Haha I’ve seen this analyst in HF everywhere shitting on Stern and Ross. Stern specifically. Buddy u don’t know jack shit about NW’s per capita placement. Stern and Ross blow NW out of the fucking water for IB. Yes for most other things, NW is far superior. Not for IB, and it’s hilarious u can’t accept it. Keep pulling ur unknown per capita statistics out of ur ass, while stern and Ross send the 2nd and 3rd most out of any school to the top firms.

Preparing for heavy MS by the other dumbasses that don’t want to accept reality.

while that non target business student is top-bucked and landed in AN elite PE firm.

grammar is important young man - my super target degree comes in handy sometimes. I’m sorry you graduated 4 years ago and are still at a BB having not made the jump to the hallowed buyside.
