| yes, I know of several target schools for major IBs...to find out, all you have to do is go to the respective firm's website and click on a button called "Careers"...from there you will find a bunch of links...just explore around a bit and you will find a list of target schools that the firm recruits at....you will also find profiles of analysts, associates etc and where they went to school, what they majored in etc.....for example, the link below shows the target schools for Lehman Brothers...the link also shows which schools are recruited for which functions within the IB School Contacts - Recruiting Contacts - Apply To Lehman - Careers - Lehman Brothers
Another link posted below shows the target schools for another IB called Lazard Lazard Ltd | |

| What makes a school a "target" is it's ability to have on campus interviews (different from information sessions) and the ability to place many graduates in some of the hardest banks to snag in the country.
There is no "list." If I asked you for a list of elite colleges could you give me a link? No. There are hard targets, soft targets, and some that are on the edge. Schools like hypsw, mit, columbia, dartmouth, duke and stuff are hard targets, schools like chicago, nw, all other ivies, stern, berkeley and the such are softer targets and schools like umich, gtown, uva, ucla are all on the edge. There is no "list" so quit asking for one. | |

| If BB analysts, associates, and VPs come to your school to wine and dine you, your school is a target. A 'target' means that the firms ACTIVELY and HEAVILY recruit there. 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. To put it in perspective, my friends at Wharton get treated to private dinners with the recruiting team from BBs. Do with that as you will. | |

| Exactly ^^. Many schools have info sessions but that doesn't make them a target. | |

| How to know which schools are targets, or in other words, how to know which one of the schools on the list given in the firm's website are ones in which BBs come to wine and dine the students? | |

| So can it be concluded that in general, kids from schools like Stern, Ross, McIntire etc are at a disadvantage compared to kids at HYPW in terms of getting hired ? (I'm extrapolating this based on the number of kids hired by major BBs each year, which seem to be higher at Wharton and slightly lower at Stern, McIntire etc) | |

| What I want to know is these "numbers" you speak of. You're still in HS and clearly you have not come across any SA lists from BBs. | |

I can't seem to find the link for McIntire right now, but i clearly remember that the number of students hired from Wharton for firms like GS, Citigroup etc are much higher at Wharton that at McIntire | |
