Historically they take 1 (and on are occasions 2) each from Ivey and Wharton, for both their NYC and Menlo offices. If they've begun hiring analysts from Stanford as well then it's very recent. It's a highly selective process.

 

for summer 2020, they recruited really late in the fall (september/october) at my target. this was not ideal as I had IB offers that expired in late-august... and they were not open to accelerating interviews. Because they recruited so late, I would assume the process wasn't as competitive as I know most of the hardos at my school had signed before they even started interviewing.

 

Usually some tech related work the summer before. I'd echo above though, not as competitive as you would think, their analysts aren't super impressive imo

 

Lol based on what aren’t they impressive? They’ve gotten ~1/3 of the Wharton valedictorians over the past decade (and those that aren’t are equally impressive).

 

You pay them for the prestige of working there (or you can look in one of the dozens of other recent threads that mentions this).
