INSANE PLACEMENT FROM UT, WTF IS GOING ON
Saw this on Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activ…
Crazy placement from UT Austin's WSFM club, is this normal? A lot of the hires seem to be diversity or Houston offices, but there are a surprising amount of NYC non-diverse hires, especially from GS/MS/BX/Moelis/EVR. Thoughts?
Holy shit, probably some of the best placement I've ever seen from such a large club straight up.
WTF
edit: I’m not some UT low-semi target chump so no need to MS me, but you gotta be impressed at these results. Legitimately nuts
I mean UT is a top target for a reason. If you’re in CBH, WSFM, INTUIT, or equivalent clubs you’re basically guaranteed placement. However, in the big picture it’s still only a small portion of the class size so it’s not easy by any means.
We’re calling anything a top target nowadays huh?
The fuck? Mccombs is a top 5 business school. They have the fourth most IB hires out of all schools within the past 10 years.
Why are people MSing this post lmfao
That is pretty impressive, my school has a similar program and we have never had a 100% placement, I think this year we are at like 50%
UT is a great school and full of extremely smart kids - not shocking to me that the cream of the crop places lights out as more top in-state kids continue to go there
UT is not a target school
It's the same if you look at the top clubs at UVA, UMich, etc.
What you have to realize is that these are MASSIVE ~30K student schools. Of course you can pick out 60 of them (the top 0.20% of 30,000 intelligent students; or roughly the top 0.80% of just senior students) that did well for themselves.
What makes Harvard/MIT/Penn unique is the ratio of students who end up at the top of their industry. They all have similar exits but it isn't just the top 0.20% of the school. Even the middling econ students end up at top banks, hedge funds, MF, etc.
What’s your point? Harvard places better than public schools? I don’t think anyone is arguing with you.
These business schools probably have ~5k students, not every one of which wants to break into IB. Don’t act like Ivy League schools don’t also have very exclusive career orgs. Regardless how big the pool is, it’s impressive to have a 100% placement rate in a university-run org year after year.
All I'm saying is I have literally never met anyone from Texas that I am not smarter than
Your calculations are nonsensical. 30k students is 7.5k per class of which maybe 15% are in the business school and at most half of which are interested in IB. That boosts your top 0.20% nonsense to ~5% and keep in mind these are generous numbers.
Congrats on being part of the 95% of UT that's illiterate hillbillys bruh
UT has consistently been placing IB, especially on the street, for the past 5+ years. Would not be surprised to see them upgraded to top-tier target within the next couple of years.
Most non-obvious insecure UT kid posting anonymously lmao
What is UT
Is that some community college?
I think I know a few back office folk from there, pretty good at sweeping our floors
Hey man, no 100% placement rate isn't normal or to be expected from a low tier semi target.
But just remember, if you go to UT and are coping, if you keep working hard enough, maybe, just maybe you'll end up at one of the best banks in Houston. I can tell your a real peoples person, you have such a great capacity for glazing!
WSFM (Wall Street for McCombs, the org/program referenced in the post) does occasionally place into Houston, but it is a NYC focused program. This year it placed 55 students into NYC roles (only 2 into Houston); last year it placed 46 students into NYC. The LinkedIn post shows the exact placement names if you are curious.
hey man I didn't read your post but just wanted to congratulate u on ur acceptance to a 30% acceptance rate non target
Damn a school with 50K students sent 40 to NYC. Sure the other 49,940 are fucked and working as tow-truck drivers in Houston, but those 40 kids that went to NYC bro!!!!!!
*49,960 but yes
Hilarious amount of salt in this thread for no reason. I think we can all agree that placement is impressive for a large public school.
Fr, it’s just animosity and it’s pretty pathetic. Regardless if these numbers are true. I worked with UT people this year and they were awesome.
UT folks are greats.
You guys are talking about a club within a business school, within a uni. It doesn’t make it target at all!
Go check out what a real target (Wharton Harvard Princeton Stern) places like then you’ll understand why UT isn’t.
Clubs at these targets don’t place into IB BB they place straight into HF, PE, special sits HF. That’s what’s a selective club at a target gets you. Not a coverage at a BB seat.
Did you even look at the linked post? Multiple kids at BX, placement at P72, Citadel, KKR as well as EBs.
BX secondaries and KKR client solutions are not PE lol
Stern XD
Hook ‘Em Horns Baby
1) Everyone from Texas is stupid. Fact.
2) The school is huge
3) The business school is huge
4) As others have pointed out, sending a few kids to sell-side coverage roles in NYC, when you have tens of thousands of students isn't exactly top target status
5) Most of the kids who got buy-side jobs are in middle office or real estate roles
6) Of those that went to IB, average exits. Not one body at Goldman or Centerview.
Sad!!!!
Most of the kids in buy side roles are in normal buy side roles. There are literally 4 Goldman people and 4 Evercore people in the post.
I am begging you all to go have sex. Jesus Christ what a pathetic thread
