<p>hmom5,</p>
<p>It seems like we are going through circles. Yes, Dartmouth/Duke has greater network and therefore is better than <em>regular</em> Northwestern in terms of getting WS job. I think it’s pretty clear I never said otherwise. What I was saying is that the success rate of landing those high finance internships seems to indicate the Kellogg certificate program offsets the disadvantage and does more. The Kellogg program started not long ago; why are you so sure that there isn’t anything about it you don’t know? As I mentioned, the Kellogg certificate has its own career advising set up just for the students in that program and it uses the resources of KELLOGG! On the other hand, Dartmouth/Duke students can only use their run of the mill undergrad career services center. So right there, there’s already a difference. This is esssentially an honors program of an already a top-15 college with the Kellogg’s name; I’d hope you can start to give it some credits. </p>

Placement 2008:
-Almost all juniors secured competitive internships at major employers
-Most of the ten graduating seniors accepted full-time offers from their internship employers
-Areas included investment banking, consulting, asset management, private equity, hedge funds and/or research
-Locations all over the globe</p>
<p>Are you telling me Dartmouth/Duke students overall would have that kind of success? I don’t think WS has that many openings to fit the whole class of Dartmouth/Duke!</p>
<p>Also, I mentioned SAT only to answer OP’s question. The OP is looking at several things, not just WS potential. It’s interesting how people would just start talking about WS and then narrow the whole discussion to it as if it’s the only thing that matters.</p>
