Almost everyone you'll meet at a big bank is there because they got stellar grades at an Ivy-league or near-Ivy school...
Good at coloring within the lines, and grabbing the brass ring, we might say. Nerds they generally are not.
- rhino369 12y agoYou don't get into an Ivy and get stellar grades without being a nerd. Not tech nerds, but still nerds.
- thecage411 12y agoI guess it depends on how you define nerd. I would describe a large percentage of students at top schools to be incredibly goal oriented, but not really nerdy. They'll outwork everyone to score their desired internship or spot in medical school, but learning a new programming language for the fun of it? Not likely to happen.
