<p>Is affirmative action practiced when it comes to hiring? What about in other fields in Wall St.? I was just curious because i just found out that affirmative action is also practiced in grad schools, law schools, med schools, etc. and I just wanted to know if it was also practiced in hiring.</p>
<p>Check out SEO</p>
<p>Yes to an extent. Wall Street is still predominantly white males and programs like SEO and MLT are meant to filter more Women, African-Americans, Asians, and Hispanics into Wall Street. However, I have heard that programs like SEO are very rigorous and tough to place into. I know a majority of the students in SEO that were in the summer program (although they did not come from target schools) were very in fact very bright.</p>
