I'm a rising sophomore at a T10 (but is also non-target) School trying to break into IB. I've been cold-emailing IB Associates/VPs with any sort of similarity in our backgrounds.
Surprisingly, my response rate with EBs has been >80%, while for BBs, my response has been pretty much 0%.
Does anyone have any insight into this drastic difference, and how I can get into the recruiting process for BBs next spring? I'd appreciate any help.

How is your school a T-10, but a non-target?
There’s only 1-2 schools that meet this criteria. But we basically have single digit alums in IB at all, and no OCR or any sort of pipeline to IB.
Ohhh must be Caltech or MIT
Yeah
