The MIDWEST is BACK BABY
Global Head/Partner at a Bulge Bracket and recently had a business meeting in St Louis and my o mighty is St Louis special. The atmosphere is back just like it was in the 1920s, Boom Boom Bam Bam Boom Bam Ka-chiga Ka Chiga- the atmosphere is absolutely electric and the people are absolutely phenomenal. You feel revived and rejuvenated by the lord almighty in the area. I've been considering a move to the Midwest for some time now but I've always been driven away by all the penetration on the Midwest. However, St Louis has taught me that the younger generation has really got it in them like no other.
All of those Wustl students truly impressed me with their intellectual ability, personality, and true grit, especially one of them which I won't dox right now but he knows who he is. I wish I could see that out of my UChicago/Random Directional School students. Anyway as it gets late and I am slightly here and there about to go I would like to wish all Wustl students and hopefully a future washu bear daughters Bianca, Melisa, and Sophia a good and fun night and would encourage others to be like them. I would encourage Chicago senior bankers to reconsider prioritizing other schools over Washu and in fact I'll risk my reputation to say that Washu should have OCR from every bank and automatic superdays to every Chicago office, I know my bank will. Finally, I wish mercy on the souls who are trying to transfer out of Wustl, there is no price to integrity and no replacement for a backbone.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are the key points from the post:
This summary captures the essence of the post, highlighting the author's admiration for St. Louis and Wustl students, and their call for greater recognition of the university in the finance industry.
WashU is hella underrated - it's arguably on the same level as Princeton and dwarves schools like UPenn and Johns Hopkins. Mark my words in 20 years WashU's reputation will surpass all these overrated ivy league schools
I marked all of those boss. MARKED.
I'm currently a freshman at H/Y/P looking to break into MM IB in Chicago for SA 27. Looking at LinkedIn it seems like H/Y/P are complete nontargets for banks like William Blair, Baird and Lincoln International, so I am looking to transfer to schools like WashU, University of Illinois Chicago and Loyola to maximize my chances of securing a SA spot at these banks. Can I dm you for advice about my WashU application?
Global Head/Partner at a BB and a Partner at a Megafund? This guy is clearly out of this world talented
Promoted from BB partner to a MF partner from one business meeting in St. Louis!!! Truly talented
Any time I see a post from an unverified IB MD or PE Partner I immediately assume 18-22 year old who is salty he couldnt break in. This approach has allowed me to taper expectations appropriately
0 chance of not breaking in from Washu.
This has to be parody, nobody talks like this.
not the brightest cookie are you?
i didnt know cookies could be bright!?
Washu has got to be by far the most hated T25 and for what reason lol
Hatred stems from jealousy. Like when I got with my first abg my Chinese friend and i weren’t friends for some time.
