<p>Sakky, can you check the number for Amherst and Williams as well? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I never said that students at the top private schools will always attain the career that they want.</p>
<p>I am simply pushing back on the notion that Cal students are not as highly career oriented as are students in the top private schools. Not only have I never found any evidence of this, and if anything, I would suspect the precise opposite. Let’s be perfectly frank. Many (probably most) Berkeley undergrads wanted to go to HYPSM but just didn’t get in, or didn’t even apply because they thought they wouldn’t get in. {Yes, I know that’s harsh, but I think we all know that it’s true.} Hence, they may try to overcompensate by trying to garner a higher prestige job to affirm their personal success so as to balance their lack of success in getting into a higher prestige college. I don’t know if this happens, but it certainly seems plausible to me, considering that overcompensatory psychological behavior has been found in numerous other contexts. The real problem, again, is not so much that Berkeley students don’t want high-end jobs, but rather that many just won’t get them, and will be stuck working at, for example, Starbucks.</p>

<p>From this point on, I am not going to report the Class of 2009 figures, as the dataset only lists the students who are affiliated, in any way, with a particular school, and it’s simply too annoying for me to then go through each case and delete the ones that were only exchange students, had transferred out or otherwise never actually obtained their bachelor’s degrees from that institution, as I have had to do with the data I presented in my previous posts. I am therefore only going to report the total number of HBS MBA graduates who were listed as emerging from the corresponding undergraduate institutions. </p>
<p>Amherst - 392
Williams - 428
Rutgers: Note, there are 108 listed under “Rutgers, the State University”, and another 2 listed under “Rutgers University New Brunswick Campus”. It is entirely possible that some of those 108 are from the Newark or Piscataway branches; I would have no way to know.</p>
<p>Somebody privately asked me for Cornell; the figure is 758.</p>
<p>Sakky, when did you graduate from HBS and how did you get there? (What was your undergraduate major, and how did you get into business?)</p>
<p>I don’t talk about my own biography.</p>
<p>That’s quite a pity, because I’m sure any information you provide may be quite beneficial to the community. Plus, the internet offers some degree of anonymity, so it’s not as if you’re revealing your identity.</p>
<p>I bet sakky has an impressive credential to boot.
My take is he has an undergrad from Berkeley and an MBA from Harvard.
Beat that!</p>
<p>Well, it only shows that even if you did not come from HYPSM…as long as you do well as an undergrad at Cal, you will become successful. The HYPSM don’t have the monopoly of talented kids. There are loads of them at Berkeley or anywhere especially at USNWR’s top 50 schools. </p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Oh, judging on his knowledge and experience, he probably has a PhD too.
This thread absolutely needs someone like him.</p>
<p>Hmm… knows a lot about engineering and business… went to HBS… could it be ANKUR???</p>

<p>^ Could be, but more likely not. His experiences alone would suggest that he’s in his late 50s of early 60s. 
</p>
<p>Now, let’s go back to the original topic, please.</p>
<p>Thanks Sakky!! Most are probably from the New Brunswick campus since thats the best rated one.</p>
<p>Well, HBS is partly responsible for this. Shouldn’t Lehman bros be tried for treason? Under what circumstances do they expect uranium price to sky rocket? A new warlord in Whereistans?</p>

<p>What does that have to do with anything??</p>
