<p>After realizing this, I have to admit how clueless I must have seemed to the banks. I guess my peers and I at UChicago aren’t doing too well in terms of getting on Wall Street not because of our career advising, etc., but because of us. I now realized that my friends and I focused too much on academics and have become very book smart but not street smart. Perhaps Wall Street is not a good fit for us after all.</p>
