<p>Actually Pat, while the article is slightly tongue-in-cheek, it is nevertheless quite accurate. Most students at top universities who land jobs in IBanks do so thanks to their connections. Those students could have landed those jobs attending second rate schools. One’s university will seldom open doors to highly sought Wall Street jobs. Harvard, Princeton, Yale, MIT and Stanford will open doors to non-connected students in large numbers. But at schools like Brown, Chicago, Cornell, Michigan (LSA, COE), Northwestern, Penn (CAS) etc…, the competition is immense, and the number of unconnected students placed relative to the number who apply is insignificant. Wharton, and to a less extend Ross and Stern do very well, but that is a function of their aggressive career offices.</p>
