I just came across this 2-year old businessweek article. It discusses students at top undergrad schools who want to go into finance after graduating and the ways in which they're preparing to strengthen their resumes. Kind of scary how ambitious and competitive these kids are. Thank goodness I'm no longer in college.

This paragraph sums up just how terrible this article is:
Interview management when they're making that $800 stake? Pro. Graduating to go into software and THEN breaking into banking? Nice. Makes you wonder if these kids are as amazing as the articles makes them out to be.
lol all they are doing is starting an investment society, but make it very selective so their prestige driven desires can be satisfied.
this worries me. Money saved from ones summer analyst stint should be promptly blown on booze, not Chinese gas distribution companies.
lol at the tufts student who interned at lehman and was to return back for a full-time position.
wonder how that turned out for her.
I'm from a non target and neither the students or the student-organizations listed in the article seemed impressive. The only resume that impressed me beyond belief was that girl who had that "ridiculous resume" post devoted to her achievements.
No, there's a girl from Tufts on there that had an offer from Lehman. Lehman and Bear were the only banks recruiting for FO positions there that year.
what i'd like to know is how did a sophomore get JPM's PE for his freshman summer.
take one look at his picture at the top of the article and i think you'll have your answer
double post.
I am shocked that this is happening at Yale of all places, who knew that Yale guys actually have testosterone? I suppose no university is safe from pre-professionalism now – not that they should be. I’ve always felt that a healthy balance between pre-professionalism and the liberal arts is necessary.
If this is what is going down at Yale, I wonder what the Wharton undergrads are up to.
