No. Yes.
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
Is sub super target a high enough tier?
yeah. being diverse helps a lot
What are all the firms with MF PE analyst programs?
BX, KKR, Silver Lake, Bain Capital, Warburg, vista are the major ones
How about the London market? Any info?
Also interested.
Notre Dame and Georgetown send multiple every year
BYU puts at least 1 a year in that level
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
Ares is not a MF in PE:
"The Private Equity Group offers both control and non-control hybrid capital solutions for middle market companies mainly in North America and Europe"

"The Private Equity Group offers both control and non-control hybrid capital solutions for middle market companies mainly in North America and Europe."
Try to pull the complete quote from the webpage next time. Nice try tho.
SL is a bit of a cheat code cuz they specifically target Ivey. If we adjust for that I only know one dude that made to Bx SA over the past 3 years (The guy is absolutely cracked and recently won Farallon). KKR Menlo is the only other one which takes FT only and over seen diversity. We not counting Ares and Apax as MF
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
Two more Canadians have landed BCP SA since the guy you're talking about
KKR Menlo Park was a bloodbath last summer
out of 8 interns across HC/TMT/ Infra only 2 got returns.
Curious to hear what the non-returns do… on the one hand you have KKR on your resume… but you also don't have a return offer lol and it's a bit late for FT
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
well if Vista counts then super semi target schools get offers
I mean they've got damn near 100B aum don't see why they wouldn't count
Apax partners take 2-3 SA per year, not very target school oriented from my observations
Seems like they take kids from UT Austin / USC type schools
