Those colleges aren't really the best schools to go to for a career in finance. Your claim to be at a "top 10 liberal arts college" sounds the bullshit alarm.

No it doesn't. Look at their wiki pages, you will see that many of them are feeders to top graduate programs for business, medicine, etc.
How do you think kids from these schools get into top MBA programs? How do you think one of these liberal arts schools becomes a feeder into a top business school?
They start by placing well into summer internships, and a full resume with experience on wall street is what gets the kids into MBA programs.
Call all the bullshit you want, but first call up a career resource center at a little three school and ask them how many kids they place into elite business schools and ask them about summer internships in finance or on wall street.
Fantolay, if your personal life is so full of win, why do you invest so much effort to prove it in this thread? You're just digging a hole for yourself here.

Liberal Arts colleges are generally feeders for graduate schools, yes. They aren't feeders for Wall Street. If you want to go to wall street, you're better off at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn, etc. Places with great business schools. Not a fucking liberal arts college with an enrollment of less than 2000, lol.
Dartmouth is the exception. Its connection to the finance industry is well known.

Okay.
Meanwhile Harvard is a liberal arts college.
Meanwhile Dartmouth is a liberal arts college.
Meanwhile people from my university do very well on Wall Street. What gets you into business school is largely the company you interned for hiring you for a couple of years and then paying for your MBA and they end up placing you into a good business school.
Please call up career resource center at a little three college and ask about employment prospects on wall street / any relevant alumni to contact.
Are we done here?
Or google liberal arts colleges and wall street to end your disbelief.
"Numerous top executives in major financial institutions hold liberal arts degrees. Hank Paulson, former Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs, is a perfect example. Paulson, an English major in college, was also the United States Treasury Secretary under the Bush administration."
And numerous snippets like it.

They generally take a lot of kids from in and around the NYC area and a lot of them are from all sorts of backgrounds. Baruch College, a CUNY school, for example, gets a lot of internships in Wall street. It's a very strong business school. Being a CUNY school, it's competitive and cheap, so there are a lot of international students and those from underprivileged upbringings. An Ivy League school education doesn't hold as much clout as it did a decade ago, particularly in NYC. Our city schools costing $2000 in tuition have as many Nobel Laureates as some of the $40k-a-year schools.
The whole "white guys only" deal was decimated a decade ago. Many of the top CEOs in corporations and in upper management positions are gay, women and people of color. Wall street really isn't racist anymore, shockingly enough. The OP still lives in the 80s with Christian Bale and Phil Collins.

Nope. It's a research university. It seems that you don't even know what the term means, lol.

If I have a male child he will have earn the right to wear pants. It's all barbies and girls close until he rebuilds my truck engine, memorizes the stats of every MLB player, and bangs his first hooker.

Harvard College is a branch of Harvard University. Harvard University is the umbrella and the undergrad programs are a spoke in that umbrella, along with research, law programs, med schools, etc. Furthermore, it isn't a liberal arts college.
It's like Barnard College with Columbia. Same deal...except moar chicks.

Yeah, but the 'little three' aren't really feeder schools for wall st. Unless a liberal arts college has a strong connection to wall st firms, like dartmouth, it's not a great place to go for finance. Liberal arts colleges are where you go if you want to go to grad or professional school. Not the best choice for going directly into a career.

So you would go to the college and receive a liberal arts education. You can argue semantics, but as an undergraduate you would go to Harvard College and get a liberal arts education...

Harvard College gives a liberal arts education. Undergrads at harvard get liberal arts education.
This isn't as epic as that liar JohnOfSheffield's meltdown but it's still pretty good.
OP, have you ever had the guts to state your views about gay people when you weren't hiding behind the internet?

Sounds like someone doesn't know the difference between a college and a university. Hint: Harvard University has colleges within it. If you bothered to read the first sentence of the article you would have avoided looking foolish.

Okay! Well until you call up the CRC you won't understand!
Law School = LSAT and GPA. Doesn'tmatter where you went undgrad for the most part.
Business School (MBA Programs) - Depend on employment out of college, which depends on internships.
So INHERENTLY for a school to be a feeder into top business schools, it must be a feeder into top internships.
The end.
