The BlackArch of colleges
damn idek how to respond to that ngl
I don’t get it
The blacker the burry the sweeter the juice
Name literally has mid at the front
thought about ed'ing there at one point. I think its a cool school.
Ed’ing? Erectile Dysfunctioning? Srry older member here, pls explain
For colleges you can Ed(early decision) for a much higher shot at admission like middlebury ed1 is 40 percent and regular decision is under 10. It’s binding tho if you get it. Washu ed1 is like 35-40 ed2 is 15 and rd sub 5 for olin.
Recent midd grad in IB: we absolutely clean up. Only 40-50 kids a year gun for IB seats and 20ish kids get BB or EB seats (avg of 4, GS, 4 MS, 8 Bofa/Barc, 2-3 EVR/MOE/Laz, and another 10 at other lower BB/ top MM spots). The true X factor is that you practically have all Middlebury alums on speed dial with a stacked core including: current CEO of Morgan Stanley, current President of Goldman Sachs, chief innovation officer at GS, head of PE at Blackstone and Bain Capital ex ceo of paypal, founder of new balance, CTO of salesforce, ex- COO of apollo, ect. Sure, we dont send 100+ kids a year like upenn or Yale or wannabe top schools like NYU or Indiana (which have many more kids applying in the first place), but if you have a semblance of social skills, you’ll land a gig on the street.
thanks a lot man.
Will people like Pick and Waldron actually respond? I've started networking recently (rising soph) and have considered reaching out, but I'm lowkey intimidated
No, don't reach out to CEO's, just follow the process the seniors at school tell you to do and you'll be fine.
Who exactly at BX / Bain Capital are you referring to. Joe Barrata went to Gtown
-Williams junior.
-midd has the best network of any school in the country and if you can’t get top bb/eb from there u fucked up.
I have a very close friend who went there and this guy is exaggerating a bit how easy it is but it’s still a very good school and places well.
Of note, the number of spots for coverage is much lower than 20. There are probably like 4-5 kids going to coverage IBD seats at BB/EB's, and another 4-5 at MM's. This is important to note simply because realistically coverage spots have more interest. Also, it's important to note that the EB placements have been historically really weak for NYC with 1 usually going a year and 1-2 going to Moe Boston. Very much remains an uphill climb if your goal is coverage, a much stronger network for financing/capital markets recruiting though.

the middlebury kids in my group were absolutely rtrdd
Idk what to make of that. Maybe good in terms of recruiting ease ig
Where were you at? I don't think Midd as a whole has a reputation for particularly weak juniors compared to other LAC's, think Midd kids generally are just viewed as LAC kids for banking.
best school in nescac for finance. wish i had applied, theres were always a ton of midd kids at superdays and alums are stacked.
Over Williams and Amherst? I always see midd as the 3rd lac.
In terms of top LAC, see William, Bowdoin, CMC and Midd grads most often, less so Amherst.
Not the most intellectual place to go, but has a really good network to use of guys on the street. If you can get in with them there are plenty of good opportunities. Just make sure you learn the necessary finance stuff while you are there for work as there will be people who will look down on it and try to trip you up in interviews because either they are snooty (ivy league/target) or because they came from a school with a worse network and are jealous of the connections it has. Good luck!
Only good if you’re rich white and/or played a sport

great school
Great school, I recently graduated. Not tons of kids gunning for spots and there’s many opportunities available. It may be a bit tougher to recruit for banking if you don’t play a sport (athletics alumni are extremely tight knit), but be sociable, prepared, network, involved in relevant ec’s and you’ll be fine. Everyone from students to professors to alumni are super helpful and you’ll have every resource needed to place well. Just make sure Midd is a fit for you as the location can be isolating .
Thanks a lot but is there any sports that are easy to walk onto?
I'm a non-athlete, but I've found athlete alumni to be perfectly nice and helpful. Never understood the whole "athletes only help athletes" thing, though I guess I haven't seen how they interact amongst themselves.
Agree on athletes being nicer and more helpful

from r/A2C
“In towns like this in New England, it's always cloudy and drizzly. The seasons are marked by the amount of dirty snow piled by the roadside. People live their whole lives here, half a mile away from barely grown children of the 1% sleeping in dorms the size of broom closets, studying to be investment bankers, like a sect of perverted monks who missed the memo on giving up on all worldly possessions and each brought ten pairs of Birkenstocks and a MacBook to the hermitage… The first building on campus you'll recognize as belonging to the college is a remarkably generic New England liberal arts college church. It's hard to tell whether you're at Amherst, Vassar, Williams, Bowdoin, or one of a handful of other boarding school for adults with wealthy parents.”
People generally seem smart from there and chill overall
These guys are now director level at banks
