So my shitty non-target has started hosting info sessions for top EB’s this year (think EVR/PJT/MOE/LAZ etc.). At literally every one of these sessions the MD or group head has said that he views our no-name private non-target school as a “target” for his group. Are they just bullshitting us or what?
For reference, my school is like a HPU, Elon, Baylor, SMU type of school.

The schools you mentioned are regional targets for Charlotte and Houston. If you're in the same tier your school is probably a target for the regional groups
Curious which bank is already doing in-person sessions
edit: Also yeah you're still nontarget lmao. Unless it's for a regional office
