Based on previous WSO threads, alumni from NESCAC schools tend to have a strong pull for each other, often supporting fellow graduates more robustly than those from larger schools. The network might not be as wide, but the connections that do exist are notably strong. This close-knit community can be a significant advantage in terms of networking and career opportunities.

For example: - Alumni from schools like Bowdoin, Midd, and Hamilton are known to place well and support each other. - Trinity College has a notable percentage of alumni millionaires, indicating a strong and supportive alumni network.

This strong alumni support can be particularly beneficial in fields like finance, where networking plays a crucial role in career advancement.

yeah MD from another NESCAC basically gave me a rundown of my SPD and said they'd speak with my interviewers LOL. ik some banks like RBC are now coordinating NESCAC recruiting as one big entity.
