The non-quantitative client facing jobs at places like Goldman Sachs don’t really need very smart people... they need people who can comfortably speak with and engender trust with the descendants of Rockefellers etc. Right now Harvard is where you get that stamp but if Harvard becomes a place mostly for kickass Asian students to excel in math and computers then the Goldman Sachses will start using a different imprimatur like the right polo camp or similar.
