So, there's this rumor (and confirmed) going around a campus that a freshman who used to work at a BB last summer received offers from a private equity firm and a boutique investment bank, both of which he accepted. So before this guys sets foot into his sophomore year he has:
1. BB SA
2. PE SA
3. Boutique IB SA
WTF?! Is this common?
If this continues this guy's prbly gonna be the GS TMT hire of his senior year.

The surprising thing is, his
The surprising thing is, his parents work in what bankers consider as lowly jobs. Family is quite poor. This is why it became a big deal. He made juniors/seniors feel dumb.

here's the interesting thing tho. His parents are POOR!! He's on full financial aid for christ sake. Yet, he's able to beat all the juniors seniors with GS MDs as their dads in this game. That's why it was a big deal among prospective monkeys on the campus.

-- Anything that makes you run to a message board and type "WTF" is probably not likely to be common.
As for this kid's situation, if it is indeed true (which I doubt), then he has connections. It may not be his parents but he definitely knows someone. That or he lied through his teeth on his resume.

If you want your school name to be confidential, probably should take it off your profile man.
Has he done really advanced courses? I knew a few people in my freshmen year who had already done 2years of college courses (university tie ups with HS), and were set to graduate in 2years even. This, coupled with good grades, high intelligence, and strong campus involvement would impress finance professionals, right? Wouldn't this cause them to snap you up early?

that's pretty cool. maybe some kind of program that allows hs seniors to intern at ibanks. i know a kid who did something similar and worked bb starting freshman year even though he went to a complete nontarget.
if it's not through a program like that then i'd be really interested in learning how he pulled it off.

see, even those programs are selective. I.e. Posse and SEO.
Those less selective such as INROADS, don't have the capability to place into ibanks and PE.
How did he pull it off? That is a mystery every jealous campus financier is tryng to figure out.

someone is here because he knows someone, someone is here because he wants to become someone
