Gang, something big has come up this morning and we need to discuss it right now. Don’t want to scare anyone but also don’t want to minimize the enormity of this news so let’s just get right to it. Wall Street has been keeping a secret. Look around at your colleagues this morning. The ones who attended schools like Yale, Princeton and Harvard and played sports like lacrosse and squash and use the word ‘summer’ as a verb and describe the color red as Nantucket red and argue the HJs don’t count if you give them to a guy whose named ends in IV and get aroused at the mere thought of an ACK sticker? They might have had an easier time breaking into the industry than those who graduated from lower ranked universities and did not get their WASP on. Yes, really.
After you’ve picked your jaws up off the floor, you’re presumably going to want to fight us on this and shout “It can’t be!” and “You lie!” Sorry to say it, pumpkins, it’s the truth. But don’t take our word for it- someone actually did a study on the shocking phenomenon.
Lauren Rivera — a 32-year-old sociologist who teaches management and organizations at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management — has concluded it’s still where you went rather than what you did there that makes the difference…She says “elite professional service employers” rely more on academic pedigree than any other factor. For recruiters, it’s prestige that counts, rather than “content” like grades, courses, internships, or other actual performance. That’s because if you got into a “super-elite” school — which essentially means Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Wharton (University of Pennsylvania), and Stanford — you must be smart. Plus, time spent at those bastions in turn will make you “polished” and attractive to corporate clients. It is, according to Rivera, a largely self-perpetuating hiring process that prizes efficiency: Why spend effort looking for “that one needle in the haystack” at a “safety school” like the University of Michigan or, heavens forfend, Bowling Green, when the run-of-the-mill Yalie’s still a prince. Even “second-tier” Ivies like Brown, according to Rivera, are suspect for the top firms.
The most surprising finding in Rivera’s research — conducted through observation and anonymous interviewing — was about the role of extracurriculars. While going to a super-elite gets your penny loafer in the door, that isn’t enough. Rivera says it’s leisure pursuits that seal the deal. Employers use these as “valid markers” or “proxies” of a candidate’s “social and moral worth,” all the more so for time-intensive sports that “resonate with white, upper-middle-class culture.” Think lacrosse, squash, crew, and field hockey. Skip football, basketball, and soccer. And no sport at all suggests “nerd,” which correlates to future “corporate drone.”
Now that this wild news is out in the open, let’s get into something even crazier- the people who were able to get jobs on Wall Street without such “polish.” If you, for example, attended Columbia and played football, how were you able to land a gig? If you’re bashful about admitting it involved 2 pieces of Scotch Tape, a half empty sugar free Red Bull, a poster of the original Saved By The Bell cast, a used colonoscopy bag and the board game Chutes and Ladders, don’t be- it’s what we were expecting anyway.

Add Northwestern to the suspect list after this bullshit study.

-Bud Fox-
I say let Harvard have its sports and academics. Yale will always be first in gentlemanly club life.
C.M. Burns
I’m nervous.
all the kids i grew up with who went to harvard, yale, stanford, princeton and penn were nerds whether they played squash or soccer
If I’m not mistaken, this study confirms why there will be about 2k miserable souls spending a fine saturday afternoon jailed up in the Javits Center…
I got the full study from ScienceDirect – it is a must read for anyone hoping to send their kids/relatives to work at the top firms. Essentially puts a “scientific framework” onto hiring into the top firms – be that law or banking. The most incredible conclusion of the study is that in fact the high school is the most important period of your life rather than college or grad school – because your performance there will sharply determine everything else.
Boolah, boolah!
I went to Hofstra and play stick ball. I can write my own ticket. Suck on that.

Wait, there are schools other than Yale?

Right before finals, I used to walk into Uris wearing Tod’s drivers, a vintage Omega Seamaster hand-me-down, Vilebrequin trunks, a linen Brooks Brothers shirt, and topped off nicely with a pair of Mosley Tribes shades. I got all Ds, a first year analyst job at Piper Jaffray, and access to the back door at Dorrian’s any time I want.
You nerds can have Quant. I’ll be too busy crushing natty lites and biddies to care about Monte Carlo or whatever…
-The Man
This slam piece sounds like a total bro hater. She needs to lighten up and take a ride on the pound town express.
And a degree from SUNY Oswego with extracurriculars like the beer funnel team and intramural floor hockey gets u a job brokering the brokers at BCG or Euro Brokers….. Big Deal. Ivy league chicks don’t keep the change.
But, Dick Fuld went to Univ of Colorado?
This study is incomplete unless she notes that you get fired on Wall Street if you are too sexy for the job.
-Debrelee
It’s a must read? Is that you, Lauren?
So Wall Street is ran by mediocre students with mediocre athletic talent?
I wore a DHAs hoodie to my interview and it sealed the deal.
So uh, I didn’t go to any of those places but my extracurricular activities include a 5k marathon, so get in line. Remember when booking my travel accommodations to book me first class with a car and driver to the Four Seasons. And you better hurry because I’ve already got a number of other offers in hand from the Street.
Jeffrey Chiang
Really? I would have thought the most important thing is the moment of conception. I would recommend doing a study to see if those conceived by smart, wealthy, educated and stable parents outperform the typical child. The results could be as surprising as Lauren’s study.
yea there was a pretty strong Lax program at Thomas Jefferson High in East New York, Brooklyn in the seventies….
Ironically, lots of ppl did wear their Red’s but they weren’t the Ivy laxer types.
I hope you’re not white. So declasse.
I’m more interested in Bess explaining what one does with “2 pieces of Scotch Tape, a half empty sugar free Red Bull, a poster of the original Saved By The Bell cast, a used colonoscopy bag and the board game Chutes and Ladders” — I assume all pieces must be used.
Less mediocre than someone who says ran instead of run
just b/c there was a financial crisis that took down Lehman, Bear and Merrill & made MS and GS look like just as bad DOES NOT mean you can go around bragging about having landed a 1st yr at Piper Jaffray…
I am sure you’ve moved on, but the mistake is so Piper Jaffray’ish of you…
Wait, so all this about a CFA is not relevent?
–Mutumbo Kabanga

The results of this research are extremely counterintuitive. It is my firm believe that Wall Street hires the best, the finest, the smartest. That’s why these geniuses rightfully deserve: money, hookers, first class tickets, cocaine, luxury hotels, maids ready to service their needs, tax payers bailouts and much more.

Just like most things on Wall Street, we didn’t need a study to know this. Again Main Street is slowly catching on.

Hi, my name’s sarcasm, have we met?

You’re an idiot.
ridiculous, a marathon is only a marathon if its 26 miles. a 5k is just a 5k run. don’t be so impressed with yourself. 5k is the standard length of a HIGH SCHOOL cross country race.
Is that a 4 year school?

There are a lot more smart and hardworking people than there are jobs on Wall St – therefore there is this selection mechanism for picking out the winners (fair or not, but it makes sense). Otherwise there are too many people that apply to those jobs. The study specifically mentions the reasoning of HR at top firm: “why sift through a haystack at a local State school when you can showel at Harvard/Stanford” or some such.

You cannot just bring two random examples to illustrate a point spanning billions of people (pretty laughable actually). I speak of it because of extensive studies conducted by serious scientists in that regard.
