It's crazy to think he had no chance when prestige is all banks like GS care about. USC is definitely a semi or even a target school for the West Coast. I know a kid that did a MS there and landed at an EB afterwards. This kid looked to have some exposure prior to switching there from Colgate and someone came up with some iffy research about the kid's pedigree. Lastly, who knows when he made that YouTube video. We found it like last year, but it could've been from the beginning of his FS year, flunked trying to get recruited and begged the MD of a smaller shop to let him in, then read this site and figured it out. Stop being shocked! It's not that hard if you develop a path from FS year and get into a school that lands you well in recruiting for these programs.
