Given all the buzz around the US cutting off pipelines to Ivey/Queens, etc., I'm curious how things actually materialized. Were top clubs still able to place people in the end, or were they truly forced to focus internally on Canada? Feel free to chime in with any insights/knowledge of which firms were able to be recruited for successfully.

Moelis still took plenty from Queens
Any from Loo this yr?
What is it about Canadians that are so hardo. You will very rarely see a “How did SEC schools fair in NY recruiting” or a “How did Italians do in London recruiting” thread. It seems like every Canadian memorized what high school sport each incoming SA at EVR played.
What do you expect? It’s a function of much more competitive recruiting due to limited seats and capital markets activity overall + limited alternatives to IB for those chasing higher comp as tech pays materially less. The number of new Canadian AN1s is literally a countable quantity, so they get hyper scrutinized by desperate prospects looking for the smallest explanatory variable possible to go copy
The Canadians who went up in American BB/EB are on average much stronger than the analysts from American schools dude
Canadian cope is so ridiculous. Why wouldn’t your top students be better than the average American? How do you pat yourself on the back for that?
Quite literally remember reading comments in an American thread discussing how shitty non-target American schools like Rice, Colgate etc placed in NY this year, not too sure what you're on about
from what I've heard, wlu and uw placements were significantly worse this year - a few ares, a few toronto globals, and that's about it
which globals and which schools if u dont mind
Queen’s had a stronger US cycle: a lot of Moelis (non-diverse) + Americans going to BDT/CVP/Qatalyst
but Ivey only had a couple: Americans going to GS/JPM/BDT + girls that got Moelis diversity (I heard zero non-American males at Ivey got Moelis)
last part isn’t true know at least one non American non div guy at Ivey going to Moelis next summer
How many Americans are there at Ivey/queens?
What Queens / Ivey kid is going to CVP / Q these days lmfao, they don’t take them
Queen's had 1 Q this year. Also judging from your comment history you are either the biggest larper/the most uninformed person on this thread
Queen's also has a rly cracked Canadian going to GS TMT
Nice to meet you dude!
heard hes washed
Byj the nepo boy doesn’t count
In all seriousness, how do you go to the states w/o QUIC, WIC, Nepo or DEI?
You don't
What if you network really hard and you have people (junior/seniors) pushing for you, is it still not possible?
You go to Big 5 in Toronto
Lol happily but even that's pretty hard now if you're not DEI/nepo
