School/IB cultures and why do they suck

I am not trying to be offensive. I am just stating what I have noticed.

There seems to be a stereotype that computer science/tech people don’t know what showers are. This also is true for finance people, but instead of showers, it’s going outside. These intern classes have pasty skin, never heard of a gym, etc.

But that’s not the point. I’m currently at a target school, and the culture here is already insufferable. If you can hold a conversation with a wall, ur in a top frat. Clearly the standard is down the drain because of the general student body.

My buddies all went to state, Arizona, wisco, San Diego state, etc, and while they certainly don’t have the same opportunities I have IB wise, they have better life opportunities than me. While I’m rotting away in cold weather surrounded by hardos, to eventually make 150-200 as an analyst, they’re gonna make the same going into law (because remember they’re at easy schools so getting good GPA + LSAT -> top law school -> big law is very easy) or they’re going into Medicine, which you can do out of any fucking school. Their day to day lives are objectively better than mine in every way, except “prestige,” which is a made up term from Asian immigrant parents who had to climb over obstacles to stand a chance here and think their kids need to be as hardo as them. News flash, no that’s not the case. If ur smart enough or resourceful enough to be on WSO and think abt investment banking, there are equally as good opportunities that didn’t require going to a target school where a 5 is suddenly a 9.

Only schools I feel that don’t have this that are still solid are ND, Vandy, Duke (kids try too hard here sometimes).

Of course, this is for New York IB. Houston IB is very, very chill. I’ve had some of the best experiences working with people from there and they really know how to separate school/work from life. Same goes for Boca Raton/florida IB. Generally less sweaty.

Also, people are obviously going to bring up that Northwestern and Dartmouth and whatever have Greek life. The atmosphere is just different tho. Went down to Arizona last week, and my take away is I just wish there was some school that had Arizona social life and with Ivy placements.
