<p>OK. Really stupid question: is northwestern a “target” school? </p>
<p>What is a target school anyway?</p>
<p>The only thing I found on “target” schools is this webpage:
[EL</a> Acquisition and Development Pilot Program (CA Dept of Education)](<a href=“http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/fo/r12/ellpp07faq.asp?print=yes]EL”>http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/fo/r12/ellpp07faq.asp?print=yes)</p>
<p>It says that target schools are “those schools that are being targeted for support or expansion of a promising practice currently in place at the eligible school.” This is off of a state of California website, so I don’t know whether or not this program only applies to CA schools.</p>
<p>target schools are those that are recruited for investment banking, and to answer your question, NU is a very strong target for Chicago firms and a medium target for NYC firms</p>
<p>That makes a lot more sense… pay no regards to my earlier post… thanks Josh66</p>
<p>Haha thanks for the responses.</p>
<p>Is that “target” title only for investment banking? I thought it maybe it could apply to other types of firms as well.</p>
<p>Each investment bank has their own list of target schools, and the lists do vary some by firm and also by year, to some extent reflecting whether or not a particular school has alumni in senior management at a firm. NU is a target school at my IB employer.</p>
