Wso demographic
Are most wso people state school students/grads? LACS? Ivys? I get the impression from these threads that most people on here are in the first category just want to take a quick poll for reference.

I go to an Ivy. None of my friends use this site though.
I go to a target state school, for whatever that's worth.
Better be Umich or UNC, hope we're done w IU kids calling themselves a target
I agree with you on the IU count, but a little offended that you implied that UNC is a target and that my school isn't lmao.
(Same poster btw, I just updated my anonymous title)
I go to UNC, and I would definitely say it’s a semi target. Virtually no OCI with about half the BBs doing OCR.
I, a person who is an international asian male, go to a southern private non-target with a business school.

What’s the point of being cagey about your school (I.e west coast target) if you’re gonna post on anonymous anyway lmfao

Cuz I want you to assume I mean Stanford when I really go to USC
I assure you no one is assuming that. Kids that go to the top anything make it known on this forum. For example if they’re at GS/MS they’ll says GS/MS if they’re at JPM they’ll say GS/MS/JPM. You didn’t say “I go to a target school like HYPS” and by west coast target school I’m gonna assume it’s not Stanford.
USC is actually considered a target?
+1 SB even though I go there. We aren't shit in NY. We kill it in LA though, 3/9 of Moe LA analyst class was USC this year
good to see a fellow TIS member in the forums

I went to Wharton and there'd be people walking around campus with WallStreetOasis shirts lol.
I'd guess we'd be the only Ivy with relatively high use of WSO though
Do you think it’s easier to break into banking from wharton than from hyp?
No. And I don't think it's easier to get into banking from HYPW than Dartmouth or UMich or Stern or Georgetown. Banking is all about knowing your fundamentals and building your networks early-on, a lot of people from a lot of different schools break into top banks. There are plenty of Whartonites and HYPs with 3.8+ GPAs that send their resumes and don't even get first-rounds. And there are plenty of kids from non-targets with < 3.7 getting those first-rounds instead. Consulting is a little less meritocratic, but it still applies to your school's local MBB office.
I will say, though, that for the elite boutiques like Evercore, Lazard, PJT, and Moelis, Wharton definitely has a special place in recruiters' hearts. You'll also have access to more hard finance opportunities like private equity, hedge funds, or restructuring for summer analyst and full-time positions in Wharton as well. Wharton summer analysts also tend to do better just cause they have more training than econ of BBA majors.
bro I've never seen that lmao. How recently was this?
Just graduated lol, definitely saw a few kids chillin in Huntsman GSRs with WSO merch on haha
