Lol, So its either make bank or whine in WSO?

so if you don't go to h/p/y/w then you don't go to a target

... at least going off of this chart

this doesn't make much sense when you really look at it, I hope you're drunk...

I'm not really sure whether you're kidding or not, so let me handle both cases (flowchart style!):

If you were kidding, then my apologies--your satire of the typical whine on WSO is quite spot-on, and made me chuckle.

If you weren't kidding, then my apologies again--I did not realize that you would be so offended by a flowchart in the "Monkeying Around" forum. If it makes you feel better, I can certainly add your school to the list of target schools so that you have the satisfaction of knowing that I think your school, like H/Y/P/W, is amazing.

 

Target/non-target is for douchebags. If you can't figure out a way to get yourself into IB one way or another, then it's obviously not for you. I think this has been supported by the people that go to HYP complaining that they can't seem to make it past first rounds and the non-target state school students celebrating their SA and FT offers at BB's. If you want it bad enough you'll figure out how to get it.

I am new to this site but this is BY FAR the best post on here I have seen yet. Thank you for saying that!

The D-bagery and stress here over "being recruited" is just sickening sometimes. Its like unless a company literally recruits them either from school or from a specific analyst pool they think their "exit ops" are none and life is over. If I had any SB's ID throw some at you!

We've got half a million shares in the bag!

That's great. How long did it take you to make that?

Lurking in WSO to see how it happens = years Doing a flowchart in Google Docs = 15 minutes

I guess you could say this was years in the making? :-D
