Are there any BB associates from non-target MBA programs?

Seems like nobody talks about this which leads me to believe they make up a lower percentage of Summer Associates compared to non-target undergrads in Summer Analyst roles?

Interesting. I just thought that the Alabama, Auburn, etc. caliber MBA students really don't stand much of a chance from reading on wso.

Id say there's VERY little chance of getting BB straight from non-target MBA programs, there's way too much competition from top 15 schools to have to go further down the list to regional MBA programs. That's not to say that you can't get into an Associate role at an investment bank as I've come across a few associates at no-name boutiques from very regional state school MBA programs .
