Looking at his profile picture makes me think he might have cancer???
We've got another Lance Armstrong in the making.
I don’t think he has cancer in the slightest. 22 is not even that old though. Look at all the kids at BYU who are in their 1st year of eligibility at 22.
to elaborate a little on my prior post, here's what I've seen in my experience working at a 'prestigious' trading company:
tier 1 - you can get interviews with a sparse resume, and having a strong resume will catapult you to the front. in general, for HF jobs based off what I've heard from friends (I'm in trading so CMU and Berkeley are high tier 2), these schools are the top 3 Ivies, Stanford, and MIT. special acknowledgements should be given to some of Penn's (Wharton's) dual degree programs.
tier 2 - almost as good as tier 1. There's virtually no difference except at maybe ~10 companies, but that difference is slight even at those companies. these schools are Penn, Duke, Chicago, Caltech, Hopkins, and Columbia*.
tier 3 - this has a wider range and is where you start getting into the "resume not looked at" when you're towards the bottom of this tier. The best schools in this range are Cornell (especially CS / Dyson), Dartmouth, Brown (definitely the worst Ivy, but still a good school), WashU
mid tier 4 - except if you're in CS/math or in Ross at Michigan, good luck. these are CMU, Berkeley, and Michigan. CMU and Berkeley excel at CS but are pretty weak everywhere else, while Michigan has decent placement into BB banks, but it's much worse per capita, especially if you don't fulfill ≥1 quota.
low tier 4 - Emory, UCLA, NYU except Stern (location + alumni can't be beat and it's well-known), UVA
Anything else: except if you're a disabled minority lesbian, you're not getting it
I applied for a job at a prestigious NYC company and they did not want me to list where I attended college.
They aren’t THAT high. (Personal experience. Went to Ivy as recruit and I had no business based on test scores and grades being there.) I’m not saying the alternative is appropriate either. I’m saying let’s not compare.
Not all Ivies are the same. I bet you went to Brown lol.
One of my high school classmates was a math major at Brown University. Later he was part of a group that won a scientific & technical Oscar (Academy Award). That's impressive, not risible.
I literally got a degree in statistics from Cornell, so maybe you should do some research before coming after me with such a meager rebuttal. I am just giving unbiased facts.
I believe you "got" a math degree, because your English "ain't too good." I do agree with your calculation.
Seriously, how are so many people breaking 4 these days? Are the shoes really that much better or is there something new in training? Combo?
Yes. In the 10 or so years leading up to super shoes, average 30 US athletes a year would break 4. Last year 63 US runners broke 4 indoors and 29 have already broken 4 for this indoor season. Sub 4 is the new sub 4:04. There is nothing special about sub 4 anymore. Take a runner who can run 4:03. in regular spikes and put them in a pair of dragonflys on BU and they will break 4 guaranteed. There are a lot of 4:03 runners, hence there are a lot of sub 4 runners.

Stanford has Cole Sprout, Lex Young, and Leo Young. Isn't that three prospects as good as Blanks and Henz?
NAU has Nico Young (7:56.97 in a shortened season, 2xNational XC champ) and Colin Sahlman (1:48/3:56, XC champ). Aren't those two prospects as good as Blanks and Henz?
