Lower tier BB's and PE/MBA's

Will going to a BB like UBS or Credit Suisse make it harder to get into a good MBA program such as HBS or Yale School if Management? How about in regards to PE funds?

nah man you'll be fine. Despite what people say on this forum, UBS/CS etc. are still amazing banks and places to work at. You'll learn a lot at these places and with that skillset (if you work hard enough) you can end up at a good PE fund and get into a great MBA program.

Also, these ranking systems of BB's are really stupid and should be taken with a grain of salt. Most of the people making rankings on this forum are freshman/sophomores who have 0 experience in financial services. Tbh, i'll probably get monkey sh*t for saying this stuff, but it's the truth. It's time that we stop regurgitating toxic rankings.
