De faire une politique de quotas!
1/ l'acces a l'information est la meilleure maniere de pousser les eleves a reussir. C'est pour cette raison que le programme "une grande ecole, pourquoi pas moi?" est un succes. Si l'on cree des vocations, les eleves auront envie de se battre pour reussir pour de bonnes raisons.
2/ la politique de quotas favorise en partie les enfants de professeurs
3/ pourquoi vouloir marquer une difference? Le principe de l'ecole republicaine est justement de ne pas differencier chaque etudiant. Chaque eleve a sa chance et les meilleurs feront la difference.
4/ il est possible d'aider financierement les eleves defavorises sans imposer une politique de quotas. Il est important de proposer des systemes de bourse pour les eleves dans le besoin mais cela ne doit pas avoir un impact sur la selection des eleves. Le processus de bourse doit etre separe.
5/ pourquoi refuser une politique de quotas est une mesure raciste? Bien au contraire! C'est justement revenir a un principe simple: chacun est loge a la meme enseigne quelquesoit son parcours passe.
6/ le principe du concours est juste. Toute personne est anonyme face au correcteur et c'est la meilleure facon de pouvoir differencier les eleves de maniere equitable.
7/ il est possible d'eviter cette politique de quotas en donnant acces aux eleves defavorises a des ecoles privees grace a une bourse. Depuis plus de 30 ans, les prepas privees ont montre leur capacite a glaner les meilleures places du classement et envoyer beaucoup d'eleves dans les meilleures ecoles. Il serait juste de donner acces aux eleves defavorisees a une prepa privee s'ils le souhaitent. Un systeme de bourse pourrait etre possible grace a l'aide des anciens. Un principe de solidarite est possible comme cela se fait a ginette (les riches paient des frais plus importants que les pauvres...)
8/ faire une politique de quotas c'est maintenir le stigmate d'etre "favorise" pour la suite. Sur le meme principe que les admissions paralleles dans les ecoles de commerce et d'ingenieur, voie qui a ete longuement critique et devalorise depuis des annees, les eleves issus des "quotas" seraient implicitement consideres comme "moins aptes a reussir". C'est injuste!
9/ Sciences Po veut se donner bonne conscience en facilitant l'acces a certains eleves mais cette mesure sera nefaste sur le long terme car son concours perdra en credibilite. Quel est l'interet de ce concours s'il existe des biais pour y rentrer?
10/ comment evaluer les eleves "defavorises" venant de l'etranger? Eux aussi auraient droit a un "traitement de faveur"? Comment definir "un eleve defavorise" venant d'un pays en developpement ou d'un pays riche? Tout le monde serait loge a la meme enseigne? Cela n'a pas de sens...
Un echange entre un professeur et un eleve a NYU...

Subject: Brand Strategy Feedback
Prof. Galloway,
I would like to discuss a matter with you that bothered me. Yesterday evening I entered your 6pm Brand Strategy class approximately 1 hour late. As I entered the room, you quickly dismissed me, saying that I would need to leave and come back to the next class. After speaking with several students who are taking your class, they explained that you have a policy stating that students who arrive more than 15 minutes late will not be admitted to class.
As of yesterday evening, I was interested in three different Monday night classes that all occurred simultaneously. In order to decide which class to select, my plan for the evening was to sample all three and see which one I like most. Since I had never taken your class, I was unaware of your class policy. I was disappointed that you dismissed me from class considering (1) there is no way I could have been aware of your policy and (2) considering that it was the first day of evening classes and I arrived 1 hour late (not a few minutes), it was more probable that my tardiness was due to my desire to sample different classes rather than sheer complacency.
I have already registered for another class but I just wanted to be open and provide my opinion on the matter.
Regards,
xxxx

Thanks for the feedback. I, too, would like to offer some feedback.
Just so I've got this straight...you started in one class, left 15-20 minutes into it (stood up, walked out mid-lecture), went to another class (walked in 20 minutes late), left that class (again, presumably, in the middle of the lecture), and then came to my class. At that point (walking in an hour late) I asked you to come to the next class which "bothered" you.
Correct?
You state that, having not taken my class, it would be impossible to know our policy of not allowing people to walk in an hour late. Most risk analysis offers that in the face of substantial uncertainty, you opt for the more conservative path or hedge your bet (e.g., do not show up an hour late until you know the professor has an explicit policy for tolerating disrespectful behavior, check with the TA before class, etc.). I hope the lottery winner that is your recently crowned Monday evening Professor is teaching Judgement and Decision Making or Critical Thinking.
In addition, your logic effectively means you cannot be held accountable for any code of conduct before taking a class. For the record, we also have no stated policy against bursting into show tunes in the middle of class, urinating on desks or taking that revolutionary hair removal system for a spin. However, xxxx, there is a baseline level of decorum (i.e., manners) that we expect of grown men and women who the admissions department have deemed tomorrow's business leaders.
xxxx, let me be more serious for a moment. I do not know you, will not know you and have no real affinity or animosity for you. You are an anonymous student who is now regretting the send button on his laptop. It's with this context I hope you register pause...REAL pause xxxx and take to heart what I am about to tell you:
xxxx, get your shit together.
Getting a good job, working long hours, keeping your skills relevant, navigating the politics of an organization, finding a live/work balance...these are all really hard, xxxx. In contrast, respecting institutions, having manners, demonstrating a level of humility...these are all (relatively) easy. Get the easy stuff right xxxx. In and of themselves they will not make you successful. However, not possessing them will hold you back and you will not achieve your potential which, by virtue of you being admitted to Stern, you must have in spades. It's not too late xxxx...
Again, thanks for the feedback.

Les écoles de commerce sont en train de changer de stratégie. Ils veulent s'allier à d'autres écoles pour conquérir le monde...
Il y a l'ESSEC avec Centrale Paris et puis Paris Tech et bien d'autres encore sont a venir... Dans cette course, la clé sera de déterminer quelles écoles seront en mesure de faire une alliance qui réussit - un réel échange de compétences, une stratégie alignée, des élèves qui vont d'une école à l'autre, un campus commun un jour...
En tout cas, cette nouvelle étape s'annonce passionante...
Les paris sont ouverts!
John Mack, PDG de Morgan Stanley, est venu à Wharton pour décrire sa version de la crise financière et notamment la semaine fatidique où Lehman Brothers a fait faillite...
Vous pouvez consulter la vidéo sur le site Knowledge @ Wharton: http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article.cfm?articleid=2357
Il décrit des moments vraiment très intéressants qui n'étaient pas connu du grand public... notamment la fameuse discussion entre John Mack et Tim Geithner et Ben Bernanke le dimanche après-midi... Passionant!
Envoyé Spécial propose un reportage assez complet sur la vie des préparationnaires à Lakanal. Il y a quelques clichés mais c'est globalement bien fait!

Amusez vous bien et surtout n'oubliez pas que tout est possible!
Comment etre sur de ne jamais trouver un emploi en finance? C'est assez simple, il suffit de mentir... comme vous pouvez le voir dans cette serie d'emails de Jeffrey Chiang...

I don't know if this guy has come up on your radar screens in terms of
analyst recruits, but you need to be warned about him. I should have
been tipped off by the fact that he ran a "5K marathon" on his resume.
I just figured something got lost in translation.
I interviewed him on campus, and while he was pretty weird/intense, he
seemed like somebody who would crank and potentially make for a good
analyst, so we waved him in for an office visit.
Things started going bad for him when I got a call from our HR
department about him during our Superday. In making his travel
arrangements with our travel agent, he had apparently made a big stink
about needing to stay at the Four Seasons and blew up on the travel
person. It was apparently bad enough that she went to the trouble to
inform our HR department.
Our Superday reviews on him were pretty mixed, nonetheless. He had
spent a summer at Gulfstar, so I did a bit of checking on him there, and
it became clear that they were also very unimpressed with the way that
he carried himself. So, we dinged him, but that is not where the story
ends.
He had told one of the associates in our office that he was in the
second round of interviews for MS's Palo Alto office. Well, our
associate happened to mention this to his friend that works in the MS
Palo Alto office and the associate at MS said that Jeff had had only had
a phone interview but had indicated that he had an offer from BAML.
When the MS team asked him to send proof of his offer, he manufactured
the email below and forwarded to the MS team.
We have notified UT of this joker's behavior, but needless to say, this
guy shouldn't be able to get a job at McDonalds after a stunt like this.

This is what Jeffrey sent Morgan Stanley to prove he received an offer
from your firm. Given you told me you dinged him, should I assume this
is fake? If so, that's unbelievable and his school should be notified,
he shouldn't get a job anywhere on Wall Street.

En classe préparatoire, beaucoup d'étudiants critiquent l'ESG en se disant que s'ils continuent comme ça (à cause de leurs mauvaises notes), ils finiront à l'ESG! Il faut savoir dire la vérité de temps en temps.
Pour autant, certains faits tendent à montrer que des employés de l'ESG ont fait du plagiat pour tenter de promouvoir leur site. En effet, ils ont créé un site, dont nous tairons le nom pour ne pas en faire la promotion, où ils ne font que reprendre des articles de différents sites ou blogs dont celui de Prepaeco
En plus d'être particulièrement moche, ce site a vraiment tous les défauts: illisible, un contenu très mauvais et aucune cohérence éditoriale.
Par conséquent, la médiocrité de ce site tend à montrer que l'ESG n'a pas que des qualités.
CQFD
Florence Noiville sort un pamphlet anti-HEC et explique que cette école de commerce devrait revoir son modèle d'enseignement. Denis Kessler, PDG de la SCOR, débat avec elle. Le débat est vif mais intéressant!
Il y a quelques raccourcis quand même...
En prépa économique, beaucoup d'élèves se demandent quelle sera le prochain métier: finance, marketing, audit ou encore entrepreneuriat!
Beaucoup de gens se demandent s'ils veulent devenir entrepreneur et s'ils sont prêts à devenir entrepreneurs. Beaucoup de questions sans forcément beaucoup de réponses...
Aujourd'hui, Prepaeco vous propose un élément de réponse avec un article très intéressant sur l'évolution de l'entrepreneur...
Il explique que l'entrepreneur passe par 5 phases assez distinctes de l'euphorie de début à la victoire finale (ou la chute...)
http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2008/10/03/harnessing-entrepreneurial-manic-depression-making-the-rollercoaster-work-for-you/
Même si l'entrepreneuriat peut être une aventure formidable, il est utile d'être conscient des enjeux pour pouvoir aller encore plus loin!
Bonne chance à tous les futurs entrepreneurs qui sont actuellement en prépa...
