Seems like every guy who makes it to the top in the hedge fund world went to a top target or at the very least a semi target, either for undergrad or MBA. The only exception I can think of is David Tepper. Are there any other managers like him from a nontarget background who made it big?

Yes several mm spin-off cio’s and a few SM(non tiger cub) founders are not HYPSM grads.
Ricky Sandler at Eminence. He went to UW Madison for undergrad I think
There are a bunch. This bias you have is prob because you are too siloed within the Tiger cub world. There are many multi B HFs/LOs out there w non target founders
Chris Horn went to University of Southampton
Bobby axelrod
druckenmiller
Balyasny
Silver Point?? Sequoia ?
Paul Tudor from what I can remember
PTJ went to UVA undergrad
Number 253 ranked uni is still a target in the USA? How does anyone not go to a target over there lmao
In credit land, Marathon, Knighthead, King Street, Avenue, Varde, and Guggenheim all have founders who went to non-targets.
