+1 the EB interviews are not as hard as you are making it seem. They look p bad compared to BB interviews because BB interviews don't really test anything.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Congrats on Gugg! gordon_gekko271
+1 It could be GS ops, BX ops, and the answer wouldn't change. go to the front office internship Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+1 Anyone have insights into when oncycle for the Class of 2028 will kick? Do we expect timelines similar to the class above or similar to the Class of 2026 / 2025 GumboPumpkin
+1 you did more than me bro, wish I had studied abroad.  hijsjsj1234
+1 so is Kelley IBW- a current Kelley IBW member Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 As someone who chose Wharton over the Jeff but has friends who accepted Jeff/Walentas over schools like Yale, Stanford, etc, I would say there’s gen such a nice network for Jeffs only at UVA, as well as a huge finance focu wheatpita

+1 If I get to $20mm it means one of the following happened, only a couple of which are desirable thebrofessor
+1 Damn he better be appreciative of the big step down. Rabbit
+1 Parasites need to be exterminated.  LMBurn
+1 like others said, the best way is practice. in addition to that, get comfortable with silence. pause before you answer instead of rushing to speak. poodle_talker
+1 In finance, stories of “nepo hires” — like someone whose dad is UBS IB head and mom is KKR executive, yet lands a job at Goldman Sachs — show how connections can fast-track opportunities. ryonreyolds
+1 the benefit of exploring is that you’ll find what you enjoy AND are talented at. the book “Range” explores this topic.from the description: poodle_talker
+1 Foster is the play - here are their IB Accelerator's placement numbers - https://www.uwiba.org/general-8 prospective intern_0000001
+1 Their Investment Banking Accelerator is the way to break into IB. Has high placement odds for Seattle boutiques/MM firms (Cascadia, Meridian, BMO) and gets a few people into BB/EB every year (PWP, JPM/GS, etc.). notyourcupoftea

+1 Omg I’m so sorry. My interview was for SA27, so that’s probably why haha. Best of luck FleetingSpirit
+1 Yeah I’d definitely reach out to the recruiter first. The whole “they were impressed” then random rejection a week later usually means something changed behind the scenes, not that you suddenly became a bad candidate. tampawampa
+1 Penn (especially if Wharton) and Columbia are both worth considering along side Dartmouth too… especially since both are also free.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 You should at least once. It’s just a really fun time. Amazing food and the pit is so much fun. You can yell and a scream and rip up cards and they don’t bat an eye. Smoke Frog
+1 I work at one of the large caps you mentioned. Ts is sweaty asf don’t do it dude 😭😭😭 I regret my choice. The PE boys down the hall work way less and get paid more. Stay away from infra at all costs Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Just bullshit with them talk about sports and college. Have them live vicariously through your youth.  Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 Interesting, no explanation. I am shocked. You keep using the past tense. Are you aware that the war is still ongoing? I can show some sources if you need confirmation. lake_michigan
+1 Would the entirety of your undergrad career be at a satellite? People like to make jokes about the satellite campuses across the internet and I imagine in people in hiring capacities do as well. markjab
+1 I think the answer is yes, but: Count WACCula
+1 I’m familiar with one of the their Sun Belt offices and their shit is totally fucked larry david
+1 BritanniaAmericanaBump. Also in a similar situation Nobody Man
+1 Class of 22 here so yall came in the year I left. Damn I’m old. Went to UF and yea my college days were awesome, definitely more fun than I’m having now working in PE, but it’s a trade off. Analyst0910
+1 From similar background (though I got a full ride at one of HYP instead).  Dartmouth is what I would lean to, it's not any less of a "Target" than Stanford for Wall Street.  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Fax bro Ross to Stifel pipeline is strong af Associate 3 in PE - LBOs

+1 POV: 50 year old MD discovers that labor markets mature within industries… I thought economics was a liberal art? rooseveltfan
+1 Hg also pays ~370 all in for ASO1 Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 We don’t really expect interns to know any technicals, you have nothing to worry about. Be good to work with, strong attention to details, make beautiful slides, you will be fine. Green Zeus
+1 For covering Europe. What is your point?  primemeridian23
+1 What’s the split of DL vs SS deals there? Are the DL deals they do vanilla deals? newkid2019
+1 I’m shocked at the responses here. If you take UVA, you deserve all the opportunities that do (or don’t) come your way. I was public school undergrad and Harvard for MBA. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Generally have 2-3 questions ready. Macro Arbitrage
+1 The time spent in IB is a 'stamp of approval' on your resume and provides many exit opportunities down the line. It's probably 90% of the reason most people even do IB even though they hate the lifestyle. equitymuncher
+1 The fight is not over yet, there are still openings and postings brother at this point land any job in a city you want to be in or if you can't do that take up any job remotely in finance and keep moving forward. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 equitymuncher AppleSauce123
+1 Don't do investment banking if you're not going to enjoy the work. You will regret it AppleSauce123
+1 Agreed. i worked in the Houston IB scene and interns were always dressed up. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 People here are missing the point about a Jefferson scholar. If I saw “full academic scholarship” to UVA o a resume, that’s just as impressive as a regular Stanford student.  MMBanker14
+1 I followed up with them on Monday and they said they're going to decide early next week since they are finishing up interviews. I guess I am still in the process but not their first choice.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Full transparency I go to Cornell, my friends attend other schools. Minors work across schools. LeftLion
+1 go to stanford uva is not at that level yet jarnold
+1 would stick with her while u progress ur career jarnold
+1 At least have a boutique IB internship. Otherwise you really run the risk of not getting in. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 regardless they should have been careful. truth is they can't fix what happened and should be an example for everyone else.  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 If we’re comparing pipeline, stern is equal or better at every bank and better for the buyside. But I agree it comes down to campus fit. Both similar difficulty of recruiting rooseveltfan
+1 Got r2 animatedmonkiwi
+1 Honestly hard to say. Works at McKinsey
+1 Stern if you're set on finance, cornell if you think you might want to do something else.  Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Forget the path. Is Peace Corps something you want to do? If so, do it. You'll be shocked at how much you can learn from challenging yourself, and opportunities often crop up where you least expect it. jaxcut4
+1 Are you joking? TC for a firm like EVR is like 200-240K, double what this guy makes at the latter range. So yes income being twice as much and scaling even faster is that significant. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Love seeing posts like this hahahaha. Makes me feel great about going to a target!!! Cold app to EB and got the offer. I'm sure that would've happened coming from ASU!!! Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Underrated comment. Kudos chimp Intern in IB-M&A

+1 Not reading all that but based on the title stern is perceived as hardo but not intelligent. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 East village Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 There are so many nuances it’s fought to give a real answer. I’m trying but things like. Sector tilts, alpha, hedges, expenses, center book, percent on your pnl (which begs the question I’m asking on digesting returns…). sick_willy

+1 Beacon pays better than street pal. Enjoy your 100hrs a week though. Director in IB-M&A
+1 What is your Summer 2026 role? Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I tend to agree with the OP here. Given that women are now making more money than ever (in some cities they are out earning men), this is just the natural progression of dating. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Wait no way you cut the cloth is Stern placement better. Cornell 200 recruit for usually 150 slots and its a similiar number of spots at Stern for like 400 recruiting. LeftLion

+1 Strong breakdown of how De Beers transitioned from a centralized supply controller to a more market oriented player. EmilyIsabelle
+1 Agreed. In trading, skill > brand. And I say that having been lucky enough to be at a 'Tier 1' and other shops. Hierarchy of brand matters way less than I thought it did as a student, and who you learn from is key. Emerging Monkey EMBA
+1 I'd recommend LSE Econ for networking with alumni if S&T in general is the goal. Imperial for specifically quant. Emerging Monkey EMBA
