As an aside I found an interesting piece on what Ivy League graduates do when they graduate.

The reason the financial sector recruits from MIT and Harvard (and no, not from their -studies departments) is because they want the highest IQs. Derivatives etc need to stay one step ahead of the game to take some piece of the numerically complex financial pie, value-added not necessary or encouraged.
As far as -studies nonsense that Harvard has gotten in to the business of producing, obviously those people are useful only inasmuch as they would have been useful without their degrees.
I know a fair number of Ivy League kids. Mainly they soon go to Med school, Law School, a top B school, a top consulting firm or investment banking.
Consulting firms hire them so they can command a higher billable rate and a 3.5 GPA is the cut off to be considered. Most engineers I know don’t go to an Ivy League School.
Yes the sales aspect is never to be overlooked. Your alma mater may not be useful in some respects, but when you're a salesman for a high-priced product to a well-heeled client, it's nice to be able to say it at the dinner meeting.
100%. Also they combine IQ with extroversion and swagger which makes them well suited for biz Dev.
