Wharton = Non-Target?
Is Wharton becoming a non-target? Outside of RX and west-coast TMT coverage, Wharton has been missing heavily. A few people locked up NYC M&A roles (mostly diversity) but seems lest then other semi-targets (NYU, etc...).
Can only list a handful (small handful) of non-diversity candidates that signed a top EB/BB NYC M&A role. Last year was also pretty bad but seems like a far cry from just a few years ago.
Overall:
I know many candidates that checked all the boxes – 4.0 GPA, great incoming internships, good network – that have 0 offers right now.
Flipside, I know very few candidates that signed (outside of RX/TMT which are pretty niche as is).
You are not very smart.
Don't even go to Wharton and signed a top BB (IBD non ECM) for 2025. Don't know why you're jumping to insults when I'm pointing out an observation I've made lol.
Touché on the ECM part LOL
I think placement is better than you realize. Definitely a tough recruiting cycle though. Also, why discount Rx and West Coast Tech when those are some of the most challenging spots to get. Calling Wharton a non-target (and NYU a semi-target for that matter) is wild considering the opportunities available for top talent coming from the schools
why does op think because he got an offer from his school all other people are below him
Never thought that at all. And I don't go to Wharton. I am just wondering why this is the case when Wharton is known for their placements.
Of course TMT and RX is top and exits are phenomenal. seats are so limited though (definitely not enough to cover nearly half of the students at a top school that want finance).
It’s a tough year for recruiting all around. Very few would look at Wharton on a resume in a negative light, though. When I was recruiting I was asked in every interview (in more diplomatic words) ‘so you’re not retarded, why did you go there?’ You’ll never need to explain why you went to Wharton.
Lol
