How Are People Summa Cum Laude + PBK
I'm a sophomore who just got a Top EB Group (CVP M&A/EVR M&A), thinking about MF PE (KKR/Apollo/BCP) with hopes of doing the traditional IB -> PE -> HF pathway, but go to a competitive school (think H/M/P) where it's very hard to be in the top 10% of your class without either taking easy courses/being a genius.
For reference, I'm an Applied Math Major but I see ppl from other difficult schools (ex. Columbia/Yale) who were at BCP/Warburg that did Econ + Math while being Summa + PBK, and many end up at D1/Tiger/Coatue. I honestly don't think I can pull it off, just because I've taken/am taking some seriously difficult courses at my school (Complex Analysis/Adv. Econometrics/Adv Writing Seminars), just for the sake of learning.
I just don't understand how people pull it off both thesis-wise and GPA-wise. Am I at a disadvantage if I don't graduate Summa + PBK esp for the top MFs?

Ur probably at Harvard because thats the only school where complex analysis and econometrics would be considered hard. Yale and Columbia are easy schools as well.
I've taken Lie algebra as well lol, and probability theory, haha. for Y/C, still very hard to be pbk + summa, no?
I don't understand what sort of validation you're looking for.... either drop those classes or study harder and get good grades.
If you're goal is to get pbk + summa just take easy classes... no PE or HF is going to give you a medal for taking advanced math classes when in reality everybody uses excel to do their additions and subtractions
My GPA is fine (~3.9) i just don't know if it's worth trying to get pbk. my school emphasizes thesis quality for summa, but I was unsure if it's THAT important for MF PE recruiting.
