[b] three, famous school = better platform, more resources, [/b][b] is closer to "success" / > [/b]
"good" can't persuade you to make up your mind if the learning ability and outstanding teachers and students are "good" The admission tickets for famous universities should be put together, so let's talk about the actual "good".
the opportunities and resources that universities bring to students are often the top ones. And seize a good opportunity, your starting point may be higher than others, graduating directly into the fast lane of life development. A good university, a good platform, and a good opportunity is quite self-evident, but I still want to share a little story in Yale.
last semester, I decided to apply for the summer internship of investment bank.
every summer, several big investment banks in Wall Street will enroll a number of three - liter interns and assign them to the investment banking department, the stock sales and trading department, the research department and other departments for 8-10 weeks. Interns can get a salary equivalent to RMB 8 or 90 thousand yuan, and they can get full-time employment in advance.
such a good meat and cake is naturally contended by a large number of juniors.
before the internship interview begins, the recruitment teams of several big investment banks usually hold a lecture, "friendly meeting" with applicants - telling the students what to do and where "tall".
in September of that year, almost all investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan and UBS went to Yale.
their company representatives, from big boss to junior analyst, and more Yale alumni, have no sense of distance from students, in addition to sharing positive internship applications, talking about the Yale rugby games, Yale's best dining halls, and even the former campus Luo Man. Tik.
the staff of one of the world's top investment banks, after a two hour train from New York, in order to attract more students to apply for internships.
they favor the "Yale" brand and trust Yale students' ability. This kind of treatment is almost impossible for ordinary university students to get.
a Goldman intern with me from an ordinary university in the southern part of the United States began to accumulate experience in banking and securities companies from freshman year. As a matter of fact, he is capable and practical, and never loses to any ivy university intern.
but he took a lot more effort than I did to get an internship:
no one went to his university to open a lecture. He had to take a number of leave to fly to New York and attend the "collective preach" (for all college students) at the Wall Street headquarters; almost no big school. Friends are working in the investment bank.
in order to get through and "porcelain", he had to make every effort to get in contact with the big guy at the preaching conference, and to get one or two valuable interview opportunities.
he even received "unfair treatment" - when he asked the reason why he couldn't get into the next round of selection, a hiring manager was very unprofessional and said it was because he was from the University of XX, rather than the "target school" ("target school"), a few big investment banks in Wall Street. Usually, most of the interns are enrolled in target school.
as Yale student, I am more fortunate and happier than him. In addition to allowing students to attend a lecture at the door, several investment behaviors further express sincerity, and there are dozens of one - to - one coffee chat in Yale - employees who invite students to drink coffee (pay attention to the investment bank) and provide advice for their application.
Goldman Sachs even invited Wall Street's famous financial trainer to Yale, giving classes to students, free of charge. In the first round of interviews, some investment banks sent the team of examiners to Yale campus to avoid the trouble of students catching up with trains to New York. And what about the students in the ordinary school?
"sorry, we will not organize on-site interviews in your school." "Sorry, we have no internship training courses for your school students." "Sorry, you need to book your own flight to fly to New York for an interview."
the story is a bit wordy, but it just wants to tell all the "preferential treatment" that the famous school students get.
to be honest, I'm a little bit unequal for the elite of ordinary universities - you're very hard, excellent, and maybe more than a famous school student.
can be because your school is not enough awesome in the reputation and resources, so I can not give you a high platform, a fast track, an acceleration.
we can not shake this reality, but we can bypass it by working hard to enter a good university. Two people who are equally excellent, those who have better platforms and resources, tend to have bigger odds, don't they?
