<p>I think we are off track here. I do believe students who has two years of front office experience at PE (Bain Cap, Blackstone, etc.), hedge funds (Citadel, Bridgewater, etc.), investment banks (Goldman, Morgan Stanley, JPM, etc.), and consulting firms (McKinsey, BCG, etc.) have the surest shot from what I’ve observed of students who went to Ivies and other top schools. I’m sure students (given that they are smart) who do something impressive on their own can make it as well.</p>

<p>The strength of Princeton, Dartmouth, and MIT are especially impressive given that they have very small student bodies compared to some of those other schools listed and not listed.</p>
