Oh, so you’re diversity and that means you are guaranteed a first round?

Entitlement on kids is crazy these days. Parents need to start telling the kids that they suck sometimes. Otherwise they grow up hearing they’re the best entire lives entitled to everything with false confidence.

Let me be the first, you probably suck.

 

That's your takeaway? Not the fact that this guy somehow has PE MF before junior summer? That should be enough to get anyone into the process for IB (one of the least competitive of true high finance)

 

That’s either diversity or nepo. Nothing to do with skill.

You’d know if you had any real life experience as opposed to shitposts on WSO.
