Correct TARGET Classification

Tired of seeing people say they went to a target on this site unclearly when they went to a school like UNC Chapel Hill.

The only schools that fit the target school classifications fall into 3 categories:

Ivy: Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Penn, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia

Top Ranked Private: MIT, Duke, Stanford, Northwestern, UChicago

Top placement wise: Michigan, NYU Stern, Georgetown

That’s it, now please stop calling your school a target if it does not fit into these 3 categories.

the unc slander is disgusting, atleast we got guranteed CLT offers.

 

UVA and UC Berkeley are high semi targets. Targets are schools that place either extremely high volume, extremely well per capita, or place pretty easily in the best firms on the street.
