It doesn't take employment #'s to know that Wharton is far better than UVA in terms of finance.

"Just because they hold two information sessions a semester and do on-campus interviews at your school doesn't make your school a target, by any means."

Your snideness aside, I disagree with this. It doesn't really matter what your definition of 'target' is and whether senior bankers are bringing you to three dinners, one dinner or no dinners, if banks are making the effort of holding info sessions and conducting on-campus interviews at your school, then, at that point, it is up to you whether you get the job and the school ceases to be important. Now, I realize that you think you're hot stuff and all-knowing because you got a summer analyst offer, but coming from someone who got three full-time IB BB offers, went to one for three years, moved to a hedge fund, top MBA program and then another hedge fund, you come to realize that humility and being able to effectively work with others are the most important things to being successful and that type of attitude is not going to get you very far.

While I certainly agree with the poster who said there is no hard and fast 'target' list, judging by my friends and my BB IB analyst classes, the 25 schools that I have seen most represented were:

Harvard
Penn (just about all from Wharton)
Princeton
Yale
Dartmouth
Brown
Stanford
Columbia
Duke
Williams
Amherst
MIT
Georgetown
Cornell
UVA
BC
UChicago
Northwestern
Wellseley
Bowdoin
Colgate
Middlebury
Hamilton
Cal/Berkeley
UMichigan
