Need Advice - Current Freshman at a Target

I'm a current freshman at a target and I need some advice on recruiting. I heard that you get better offers in IBD if you trim your pubes. A)Is this true? B)What shape/pattern works best. Thanks in advance for your help!

This is a workable strategy but you will have to visit the right waxer. Less prestigious waxers won't make the grade... and don't even THINK about doing it yourself. That's so ghetto.

Banks like to see a lot of commitment, so you will want to wax in the shape of the bank's logo or initials.

Anyone got a ranking as to the most prestigious waxers? I go to Elizabeth Arden but I hear Thierry and Franz up on the Upper West Side are very boutique-ish and hard to get into.

 

Thank you, ChemE, but you're not being helpful. It is important that we build a ranking list so that we can quantify exactly where each of us falls on the ladder of success.

Can any REAL banker make a meaningful contribution to this topic? Anyone know where GS bankers get waxed vs. ML vs. MS?
