“Here is one difference I have observed: At HYP, elite investment banks will recruit pure humanities majors, on the assumption that if they are bright and successful enough to gain admission to those schools, they are bright enough to succeed in banking despite not having any background in econ or finance . . . plus, the prestige-focused banks like the sheen of a degree from HYP.”[\Quote]
Agree. This also applies to top management consultant jobs. McKinsey will offer a Latin major a job from HYP. For your typical pre-law, pre-Med, pre PhD student, an UG degree from any top 20 should give adequate street cred.
