Take its summer internship program as an example: 90,000 people applied to the gig in 2014, but only 1,000 were accepted, yielding a 1.1% acceptance rate.
That's lower than the admission rate at Harvard, Yale, or Princeton universities. It's lower than the acceptance rate for analyst gigs at Goldman Sachs.
But if you do make it into Morgan Stanley, you're in the money. The bank pulled in $8.9 billion in revenue in the third quarter of 2014. Investment banking associates make around $230,000 after bonuses.
Like every other company, Morgan Stanley has its feeder schools - institutions with networks that are plugged in, raising the likelihood that you'll land a gig.
