Sorry to break it to you, but if I'm interviewing someone I don't really care where you went to school, its all about whether or not I would enjoy working with you. If I accepted your resume I think you're smart enough to do the job.
i attend one of hyp. what should I do if i can only go to a middle market this year? should i stay an extra year or take the job anyways because i think i can lateral to a BB later? i feel having hyp on my resume does help
Troll? People from top colleges get rejected all the time.
I think he means he's depressed, not that not a single person ever got rejected. Having 3 superday rejections is pretty tough.
i know tons about trading cuz i go to hyp and read bookz! lawlz!
Oh dear, the HYPers are out in force. The trolls won't be far behind- this is too juicy for some folks to resist. :D
Once you get to the interview, it's not about your resume anymore. It's about you, the interviewer, and how productive they think you'll be.
This is one of those cases where you need to get some practice. You go to Harvard for gosh sakes- take advantage of their career services department and do a number of practice interviews.
Plenty of harvard kids get rejected from them - they usually end up at mckinsey, bain, blackstone, greenhill, citadel, and kkr
I wouldn't want to work with any Harvard assholes much less make friends with Harvard people after seeing that Social Networking movie.
I would have to disagree, I had the opportunity to work with some Harvard, Yale and Columbia ppl over the summer and they were pretty legit people.
I once met a kid that went to Harvard. I still brag about it to my friends till this very day.
you too? shit... i thought i was the only one who ever met one of them... well now i can't tell this story at a party anymore
your usename is finalfantasy. clearly, you are a nerd with no social life that no one wants to work with :)
I have to contribute this little story for you OP in case you actually do go to Harvard. The only person I have ever had extended dealings with that graduated from Harvard was 32, made 24k a year and could barely get through the day without significant help from the people around him. Guy played hockey in college and was apparently just good enough to not play in the NHL.
Going to harvard doesn't mean dick. As much as I think this is a troll, that still needs to be said.
Oh and he graduated with a 3.4 due to their "merit based" grading system.

What does "rejected" mean in this sentence?
Unless your "yes" is after you have downed one too many, and then you may end up with this:
And no girl at a college bar is a dime-piece. They are simply "slam-pieces".
But I do agree that if you have the confidence to work the bar scene and take on rejections then you can surely take the rejections in terms of your career and life.
No need to fret about the rejections, you only need to focus on the present and what you are going to do about it.
Yeah, picking up women is the best practice when it comes to networking. If you can approach a hot chick randomly and get shot down you can call an MD and sell yourself.

Zona82,
I'm sorry that you get rejected plenty of times mate. If you ever need a shoulder to lean on..
How would you get any practice talking to hot girls while at Harvard?
Terrible example.
hilarious
Bar scene analogy is good.
Did somebody say grade inflation?
I beat out hyp kids in interviews all the time, SON.
It is funny how non-Harvard kids will give you 1000 reasons why Harvard's not all that it's cracked up to be. The simple truth is:
Harvard is pretty baller, but Goldman Sachs is infinitely more so. It all matters where you end up.
What makes you guys think a harvard student could possibly get rejected at a bar?
Good Will Hunting.
How do you like THEM apples?
