<p>Out of curiosity, can someone tell me how many people got full time job offers at harvard from blackstone for the last few years?</p>
<p>thx</p>
<p>I don't think you're going to find anyone (especially not here) that knows that number. Blackstone recruits at Harvard for full-time and intern positions... # of Harvard students accepted definitely varies year to year, based on hiring needs + quality of Harvard applicant pool.</p>
<p>thanks for the input.
if you had to guess, do you think they recruit more at harvard or wharton (huntsman)?</p>
<p>Wharton obviously. you learn more adaptable business skills. A top firm like Blackstone wants the best and the brightest in business (Wharton), not the ones with the pretty degree</p>
<p>more will get in from wharton just because more from wharton apply. it is not because they are any better, or by far, the "best and brightest".</p>
<p>I think gmurguia is being a tad ridiculous, but I agree that Blackstone hires more out of Wharton. From what I've heard, to go into PE straight out of Harvard undergrad requires a significant amount of study/reading/learning outside of class (or crossreg at MIT), as they want a lot of technical knowledge.</p>
<p>On the other hand, tons of Harvard people go and work at Goldman/McKinsey/etc, then go on to Private Equity/Hedge funds.</p>
<p>yeah i know im being "rediculous," I'm just kidding. Harvard (econ and anything else is great but i dont idealize Harvard like most people do) is very respectable but i do think that wharton is a little more practical and private equities like blackstone are probably going to prefer a wharton grad right out of college than a harvard grad right out of college. I'm not talking about long term success. That depends on how you dod while your actually working</p>
<p>sorry "ridiculous"</p>
