SpringForever:

objobs - are you a high school student?



Actually, I am a recent high school grad who will be matriculating at a university in the fall.



SpringForever:

You definitely sound like one. You sound like you have no idea



You sound condescending.



SpringForever:

Grad school at MIT is plan B for a lot of top engineering undergrads.



If “grad school at MIT is plan B for a lot of top engineering undergrads,” then undergraduate school at Dartmouth is plan D for a lot of top high school students.



SpringForever:

Of the top engineering undergrads, most prefer business



Business and grad school are not mutually exclusive. Many people who run hedge funds, private equity and venture capital firms have PhDs and/or MBAs from Harvard/Stanford/MIT et al. Almost all of the quants who write the algorithms that the traders use have PhDs in math/physics/engineering, etc.
