Well I went to a major feeder school and know a lot of people hired by JS.
The class of people hired by firms like Goldman Sachs is obviously nepotistic in nature and very different from the class that JS hires.
A substantial portion of the GS mix is athletes & what I would call traditional Northeast elites, Jane St hired mostly out of the top physics, CS & applied math classes I was in.
Beyond that, having parents who are prominent professors is nothing special at these schools and definitely would not give you pull at these institutions. Finally, Jane St has no incentive to engage in this sort of hiring because they are not customer/client facing.
