Pedigree
I heard Blackstone valued Ivy (+Stanford/MIT) UG and HSW MBA pedigree. Does PJT still care as much?
Which other firms are known for placing emphasis on pure pedigree?

Career Resources
Blackstone/PJT (particularly their restructuring group) has always placed their emphasis on hiring the smartest kids and it just so happens that most of smart kids go to top schools (Harvard, Wharton, etc.) That being said, if you do a little research, there have been 1-2 kids from non-Harvard, Wharton backgrounds (think Ross Michigan, Northwestern, Duke, Princeton, etc.) every analyst class so it's not impossible if you aren't from Harvard or Wharton.
Which of the top funds care more/less about pedigree? (Originally Posted: 04/21/2011)
Seeing the thread about how various funds care more about school/GPA even after the analyst programs than others, I think if any experienced folk can share their experiences with which funds are more open to "average" backgrounds that'll be great for those of us out there who have a Public School 3.4/Deutsche Bank or Barclays rather than a Harvard 3.9 / Goldman TMT so we know which funds to target and which are a waste of time.
seems like Silver Lake, Bain Cap, Paulson are very pedigree-focused, Carlyle seems to be more open. anyone have any other info?
get tha fuck outta here bro
I'm pretty sure the funds will target you if you're what they're looking for. Not the other way around.
Pedigree in IB: Analysts >> Associates (Originally Posted: 10/06/2016)
Trying to make the jump at some point in my career, and from a pretty large sample size, yet still not completely representative number, it seems like the pedigree and backgrounds of investment banking analysts tend to be more impressive than associates or those that become associates later on. Do you feel that this is true? Especially when top analysts leave after 2-3 years for PE/HF or just leave banking altogether, and then take into account people that enter banking at the associate level.
My experience is only real estate related but I def agree with you
