Thank You WSO - SA spot with a great boutique

Hi All,

I'd just like to say thanks to all the contributors to these boards and this site. The resources here have helped me land a SA spot at a great boutique in NY. Being a sophomore from a non-target, I needed all the help I could get - and I got a lot of it from WSO (both from the boards and interview guides).

So yes, other young non-targets, it's definitely possible to fight your way in. Thanks again!

Thanks guys! Also, if any students out there want advice at all (I may be barely qualified to give it, but I'm sure I'll be able to add some value), just send me a PM. I'd be happy to give back.
You're modest. I like you.
Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.

You are going to go far with this attitude. Gotta give back to our community because we get to where we are for those who were kind enough to show us the way. When it is our time, we need to do the same.

"We did not charge the beach of Normandy, Do the Humvee in the desert of Iran or fight in the Iraq. Everything we have, we did not earn it on our own. That should be a very humbling thing for everyone. We all have great power to change the world and we must use it to do just that." ~ Jamie Dimon, Address to HBS MBA Class of 2009

I'll never get tired of posts like these. Goes to show you the people who actually go after what they want and legitimately enjoy it do get where they deserve to be. Nice job kid.

I hate victims who respect their executioners
