Has Princeton made your head big yet?

<p>dear god, stop riding my coattails.</p>

<p>well someone’s got to</p>

<p>LOL this thread is hilarious

</p>

<p>icalculus, it is obvious that your life before getting into princeton was… well, let’s just leave it as, unsatisfying. Your self esteem was probably dead and everyone stepped over you but now that you are going to princeton you think everyone is undeserving of you. Well let me tell you something, your school doesn’t define you, you do, and you will find soon enough that you are still the guy you where before princeton and you will learn it the hard way. I do hope you learn this fast before your fall gets even bigger. You are still the same guy.</p>

<p>Yes, I was a pre-Princeton man, then I will be a Princeton man, and then a post-Princeton man.</p>

<p>minderbender, you did not quit while you were ahead - I’d say you got ■■■■■■■ pretty badly on this page.</p>

<p>^ that would be true if iCalculus actually knew he was ■■■■■■■■, which he doesn’t. If it was his intent all along to make my blood boil by making such outlandish comments, then I’d say he got me pretty good. The sad truth, however, is that he actually BELIEVES the ***** he says; he ain’t just sayin’ it. </p>

<p>In which case, I’m still way, way ahead.</p>

<p>

Hah! That made me rofl dude, kudos to you bro</p>

<p>iCalculus, nope</p>

<p>actually once you get that degree four years from now</p>

<p>you will be a **Princeton Man ** for the rest of your life</p>

<p>sounds nice doesn’t it?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Agree with minderbender</p>

<p>I frown upon ■■■■■■■■. No bueno</p>

<p>Thanks for the correction mister John Adams.</p>

<p>Alrite lets just agree on this:</p>

<p>Upper tier ivy kids and stanford kids (HYPS) should have a big head cuz they are better than most of the world</p>

<p>Lower tier ivy kids (I grudgingly will throw Wharton and Caltech in this group) should get an inflated ego too bc the only people who could be better than them in life are HYPS kids</p>

<p>^^ ^^ then you get to Wall street and wake up to the fact that they’re 5 times as many Whartonites as they are Princetonians on the street and the Wharton kid is your boss. Plus, that Wharton kid who turned down Princeton (as many do) got a 250k PE or H gig from one of the many firms that concentrate on Harvard and Wharton or exclusively on Wharton kids. Most Whartonites only consider Harvard to be in their league versa, Princeton doesn’t quite make the cut, that’s true on wall street as wel where Wharton is the most represented school at essentially every bank. Don’t get me wrong,Princeton is a good school, but it just isn’t at the top like you delusional seems to convince you that it is. No hard feelings, Wharton’s just better.</p>

<p>I was debating whether I should stoop to your level and participate in this D#% swinging contest, but considering you are so arrogant and delusional, I thought it was best to bring you down a few notches and up to speed with reality. No one on Wall Street will look at you if they sense you are arrogant. Time and time again I hear that humility is the most important thing in this industry. if You continue to act the way you do you will fail. What if you are randomly assigned to work for a Baruch MD? Are you too good to work for him because you went to a school right behind Wharton and Harvard on Wallstreet? Be humble and people will respect you. </p>

<p>You disgust me.</p>

<p>But I’m so confused. Can someone explain the concept of “Wharton” and “Penn” to me again? It does exist in Penn right? Or is it like a building to the side? Does Harvard have one too? :|</p>

<p>I thought Wallstreet died. Oopsies. :smiley: Good think I’m not moving there.</p>

<p>hahahahah! This thread made me rofl! icalc, Wharton is a pre-professional school of Penn. It’s their undergraduate business school. I think that, given the hype that it gets, and the offense taken when a Wharton student is categorized as a Penn student, Wharton should free itself and operate as a stand alone school. But then again, without Penn, Wharton is just a business program and not a real college. lulzzz it’s like a paradox, if u get what i’m saying</p>

<p>oh shoots, I am so slow, I get it now. LOL “Wallstreet died.”</p>

<p>so platore, are there also 5 times as many Wharton graduates from the undergraduate school as there are Princetonians in the top Private Equity firms?</p>

<p>somehow this table doesn’t show that. </p>

<p>[Private Equity Firms & Universities: What’s the Relationship? | BankersBall. Where Investment Bankers Come to Party. Investment Banking Compensation & Salary](<a href=“Bankers Ball”>Bankers Ball)</p>

<p>In fact for ALL Penn undergraduates (not just Wharton), the gross amount is less than 2x. Furthermore, would you like to take a guess on what the figure would be based on the relative size of Penn’s undergraduate class versus Princeton’s?</p>

<p>**Number of Private Equity Professionals at Blackstone, Carlyle, Bain Capital, Silverlake Partners, Warburg Pincus and Providence Equity Partners **</p>

<p>Total Professionals
University of Pennsylvania - 61
Princeton - 35</p>

<p>Total Professionals per Undergraduate Senior Class Student x 1000
University of Pennsylvania - 21.6
Princeton - 30.8</p>

<p>Then you also say that the Private Equity professionals from Wharton undergraduate are going to be the bosses of the Princeton professionals. Take a guess as to which undergraduatre college has more professionals with 10+ years of experience, Wharton or Princeton?</p>

<p>Umm…I turned down Yale and Stanford to attend Wharton M&T. Additionally, my post was supposed to be sarcastic as the topic of this thread is completely insane…umm ya.</p>

<p>PS…iCalculus…that little building off to the side of Penn rapes Pton every year in pretty much every possible financial sector you could think off. I forgot…how many times does Blackstone come and recruit undergraduates at Pton? Hey, its cool, though, we also have the Penn medical center on campus that favors Penn undergraduates. Again, I believe its just a building sprawled at the border of the campus. However, for some crazy reason its the #1 medical center in the United States. The Wilson School of Public Policy or w/e the hell they are calling it nowadays seems be the one building Pton has thats any good.</p>

<p>This thread makes me really sad. Are these the people who will be my classmates next year? Who will be looking down on me? Thinking “I got into Harvard and Yale and Stanford and you didn’t, so ■■■■”? :(</p>
