Enjoy the wrath of the non-targets, targets - some BB's and MM's have stated they are going to stop recruiting from a few Ivy Leagues because there is more talent elsewhere.
this is just the beginning

Yeah, you definitely don't have a chip on your shoulder...
PS: Your link is broken.
you're upset
edit: fixed
Not at all. I think I've mentioned on this forum before that I intend to transfer to an undergraduate business school, and that Kelley and Haas students are much better prepared than Columbia students due to their business education. I've applied to NYU Stern, Georgetown MSB (and Harvard College, but that's a long shot), and will be going to one of the two in the fall should I get in.
That said, do I think Ivy students are generally better informed and more intelligent? Absolutely. No bias here. It's just that the average Columbia guy has a lot more mental horsepower than the average Stern undergrad guy, for example. Meet people from both schools and it becomes very apparent. That said, I prefer Stern's undergrad curriculum and it undoubtedly places better in finance, so I prefer it over Columbia.
I like.
Your link is still broken.
Your argument is invalid, that is a generalization you cannot prove.
Btw sorry, fixed again
Ok. Then get into an Ivy and prove me wrong. I can easily get into Stern undergrad (got in last time with almost 100% of costs covered), but the Stern undergrads were all rejected by Columbia. I'm sorry, but that's something you cannot deny, and it only makes you appear ignorant if you do.
Why would I go to Stern? I have no desire to. Could I have gotten in...yes. I didn't think I wanted to go into banking in fact I wanted to be a navy seal, was going to go to the naval academy, but then I had an injury so I can't. My brother went to a top ivy (wharton, harvard, etc), now is a consultant and he specifically said that most Ivy kids don't deserve to go into banking (he never wanted to be a banker)...they are too narrow minded and don't work as hard.
In fact I am the perfect reason why non-targets will reign supreme + are smarter.
So I state again, you are wrong.
edit: sorry link finally fixed
That is flawed logic since the criteria for admitting undergrads is not a universal intelligence indicator. That much intelligence isn't needed for Finance, and booksmarts don't mean that much if you're a social retard because you spent your life stuck in books.
link is broken
Link is still broken. But anyways, this is good news for people from nontargets. I like the fact that my nontarget undergrad school is becoming more of a target because banks are starting to see the value of going outside a handful of schools.
Motherfucker I'm on my iPhone.
Rofl at targets

Anyone who believes this also believes that Mendoza is the best UG business school because BusinessWeek says so
