How do I get a megafund out of undergrad
Background: non-diverse rising sophomore at strong target with a sophomore BB offer, finished with IB technical prep I know it’s a long shot and an impossibly broad question to answer comprehensively but with a sophomore offer I figured I may as well shoot for the moon. It seems like there are very little resources out there on PE recruiting and so I want to get the run down on everything I should do to maximize my changes at landing an offer. Any advice appreciated. Thanks
Be either nepo or extremely extremely cracked, which it sounds like you already are one of those given you got a soph BB offer non diverse
I broke into MF PE out of undergrad, happy to answer any questions you might have. First of all, a lot of it is luck. Lots of MFs recruit out of only a few specific schools (SL’s old analyst program comes to mind) and getting an interview requires a lot of luck.
How do you get sophomore BB as nondiverse?
It’s nearly impossible, but doable with your background. A friend of mine went to a non-target, non-diversity, and he landed a MF PE offer for his junior summer. And even then these undergrad to PE summers are extremely competitive, return rate lower than 50%. Shoot your shot, but be aware that there will be a ton of people with better backgrounds than you gunning for the same spot as well
Agreed with everything on this thread so far - it’s pretty hard to get one of these internships, which is realistically the only way you’re getting out of undergrad, the one exception being warburg bc they don’t take interns. Also by saying megafund only, that narrows it down to literally 5-6 firms, so probably 50 spots TOTAL … I think that’s just Blackstone, KKR, Warburg, Vista, and Bain … for context, an average Evercore IB SA class is over 50. Best of luck

A lot of the BBs take a handful of target kids in addition to diversity
