What Do Megfund Classes Look Like Across the Street?

Hey guys, I was just interested to know if anyone knows what previous year's incoming associate classes at megafund pe shops (ie Blackstone, KKR, TPG, Carlyle, Bain Cap, Apollo, etc.) have looked like in terms of where those who are coming in spent their 2 years prior to pe. If anyone has any breakdowns I think it'd be very interesting for people to see that are still in college.

go to google and type "site:linkedin.com KKR/whatever associate"

I recommend going into private browsing mode/signing out unless you want them to potentially see you creeping on their profile

 

its not about the school that you went to, but the inner qualities you possess as an individual.

only those who are incompetent blame their educational background and look down upon people who go to a lower ranking school than they do.

just be yourself.

Because there's totally no correlation between going to Wharton and kids who are driven and interested in finance...

You're right in that the school that you go to doesn't determine who you are, but it otherwise matters a whole lot.
