<p>not sure if any of you guys can answer my questions… but I do not know of any other forums that can provide me with the necessary info… the forum at <a href=“http://www.thevault.com%5B/url%5D”>www.thevault.com</a> makes you pay… =T</p>

<p>2 questions:</p>

<p>alright so, I was just accepted to Stern as a transfer… waiting to hear from Wharton.</p>

<p>4.0… lot’s of job experiences… national recognition in competitions… research experience in finance/economics… you can check out my credentials/whatever.</p>

<p>just wondering how aggressively, i.e. the number of job placements in summer ib programs. do stern students get into…</p>

<p>i wanted to get into m&a for one summer and then leveraged finance the summer after that and then jump straight into private equity after graduation… so either Goldman, Citigroup, Deustche Bank would be perfect </p>

<p>i know that private equity generally do not hire undergrads… but I’m wondering if anyone knows if that is the same case with stern.</p>

<p>Blackstone’s PE division hires out of undergrad, but to my understanding, they will only hire 2-3 people for the group each year (almost exclusively from Harvard and Wharton).</p>

<p>It’s nice that you know what you want to do already, but keep in mind that doing M&A the summer after your sophomore year is ALMOST impossible, especially at a bulge bracket. Lev Fin isn’t too easy to get into either. For most banks, after you receive your offer you will have a “sell-day,” where you go in and interview with all the different groups. You pick your top 3 or so groups, and then they will place you.</p>

<p>Anyways, no matter where you go, you have to excel and standout above the rest if you want to work at GS, MS, etc. I would choose Wharton if you can get in, but keep in mind that you will need to maintain a high GPA there (in addition to ECs and what have you).</p>
