Yes they can definitely make it. It does get harder depending on the tier of the school but there are cases every year where this happens

 

Wtf no they don’t 😂 if so it’s a nepotism hire. Show me specific LinkedIn profiles where this is the case

 

It may be a little less than 1 per year, but they do. Examples of UG placement into large funds from the past few years would be Ares, KKR, FP, Insight

 

Multiple Canadian non-target and target send some of MF e.g Ares, SL, BX, KKR, Apax, etc each year

look at the recent canadian summer 2023 placement thread on wso  

 

Bruh KKR Menlo is taking 0-1 this year for SA 2024, got info from alumni, and Silver Lake is not preparing to take any, just a head up for u all. Only Vista is taking a lot cuz enterprise software is the future

 

One girl went to Bx Real Estate last summer and another is going this summer

One guy from Concordia is going to Strategic Partners, and a few UBC people have also gone to Strategic Partners

 

KKR Menlo Park was a bloodbath last summer

out of 8 interns across HC/TMT/ Infra only 2 got returns.

 

Have seen some kids get FT roles out of UVA. Off the top of my head we had 1 at Warburg, 2 at KKR, and a few other places

 

Apax partners take 2-3 SA per year, not very target school oriented from my observations

 

Michigan occasionally sends some but less than a public target like UVA for some reason. A lot more when you count in MF RE, infra, etc.
