A lot of these are fairly good. A suggestion would be to add a little more flavor to the teaser posts before adding the links.

--There are stupid questions, so think first.
 

If you're interested in seeing more private equity advice, here's a link to a page with advice related to getting a PE job. There's some advice to help evaluate whether PE is a good fit for you (or vice versa), tips on how to break into PE, a good resume example for PE, and even a link to the headhunters that specialize in PE for junior level placements.

Friends were asking for similar material for undergrads with banking internship experience who want to jump straight to the buyside (PE in particular) right out from graduation. Do you happen to know of any such material?

 

Don't wanna get too picky, but how in the world do you have Williams listed as a top school for finance but not Penn / Wharton undergrad?

Other than that, good article all things considered.
