Stanford undergrad for PE?
Hello, I am a student who was recently accepted to Stanford and I was wondering what placement is like for private equity. Is the school generally pretty easy to break into a firm like silverlake or is it more like trying to break into IB from a non target. Also, is there any comprehensive steps I...
How to break into finance from Stanford
Essentially the title. I'm an incoming freshman looking to pursue a career in Investment Banking and Private Equity in New York City, and I've heard the opportunities for recruiting/placement here are quite poor in comparison to how well Stanford places in fields like tech and medicine. To overcome...
Urgent Undergrad Harvard Vs Stanford
This is not a troll post got into both schools(well just got off the Stanford waitlist) I think I am interested in economics, but to be frank, I don't know what I want to do.

UPenn LSM vs. Stanford, Yale?

Q&A Student Attending One of Penn/Wharton's Coordinated Dual Degree Programs (LSM, M&T, VIPER, Huntsman, etc.)
Hello! I'm here to give an insider view to anyone who might be interested in business school, plus, another skill. Ambidexterity (having both science/engineering knowledge and business knowledge) can be extremely valuable for some careers, such as entrepreneurship! I was admitted to several T10...
How to line myself up for Stanford/Harvard/Wharton MBA going into analyst years

MBA worth it after top EB?
I'm an incoming SA at a top EB (EVR / CVP) and am considering applying deferred to business school. Coming from a target school (although not H/P/Y/S), would it be worth it to apply to one?

How easy is it for Harvard students to break into IB?
It’s no secret that breaking into IB is quite difficult for the vast majority of people, especially for those coming from non-target schools. Made me wonder: how easy is it for Harvard students to land a job in IB? Is is more or less guaranteed if they are interested in doing so? Doubt there are...

H vs S for Quant?
Hi, I am an admit to Harvard College who recently got off the waitlist to Stanford. In terms of aid, Stanford is about 8k$/yr less than Harvard, but this isn't too much of a difference. I don't have too much of a location preference because I am hyper-introverted and probably wouldn't take advantage...

Getting into PE, VC out of Stanford

"Why Stanford Is Beating HBS Among Dual Admits"
This is consistent with what I've been hearing from inside sources for a number of years. That dual admits long used to split about 50/50 but that recently (for a few years now) it is heavily in Stanford's favor to the tune of 3:1. [quote]"These choices are closely guarded secrets in the world of...

Visiting GSB before applying?
Is it important to visit? GSB is only offering 3 more campus visits before the October deadline (according to their website), and the dates make it difficult for me to swing the trip. Is there an alternative way to get a genuine sense of what the people / culture are like? Webinars maybe?

Stanford Just Ganked Martoma's MBA
Wait...what? Can they do that??? Apparently they can. Stanford's Graduate School of Business has rescinded Matthew Martoma's 2001 offer of admission , effectively saying he never attended grad school there, and thereby no longer has an MBA from the vaunted institution. How's that for revisionist...

UCLA vs UC Berkeley recruitment for IB
In terms of recruiting, how prominent is UCLA among investment banks, including BB and boutiques, especially compared to UC Berkeley. I’ve spent a lot of time researching and I've looked up literally every post with the tag UCLA but I can’t get a clear answer. I’ve heard some people say UCLA...
UCLA major??
Hi, I’m attending UCLA and hope to eventually work in finance or consulting. I’ve heard people tell me that its a target, while others say it’s barely a semi-target. It’s at least clear that it’s not as much of a target as the ivies, so I’m assuming my major will matter more. I’m...
