This was an absolutely stupid comment. I've worked at 3 highly successful and quite famous hedge funds, and I would say that in excess of 85% of the investment professionals (including myself) did not graduate from ivy league schools. Many were from complete non-targets.

If you are smart, and you want to work for a good hedge fund, your best bet is to have 1-3 high quality, well thought out and preferably modeled investment ideas. Obviously you need a solid resume to get a conversation, but you certainly don't need a 3.9 from wharton.
