Final round at BB

For a post-MBA associate position, what would be the chance of an offer once you make it to the final round stage? If you're from a non-target (think ranked between 20-30), are you on an equal playing field once you're at the superday or still at a disadvantage?

I'm assuming that chances this year will not be as good due to the credit crunch, but so far for this year, what do you guys think the approximate chances are?

 

I think that with target schools there is often an assumption of competence. With non-target schools (note: this isn't for Johns Hopkins-esque non-targets), there is more of a need to demonstrate your sophistication and competence. That being said, a non-target kid that walks in there confident, put together, and knows his shit, will be on the same playing field.

 

some non-target kids are brilliant...perhaps even smarter than ivy leaguers..and the recruiters know this...for example..if you are part of the honors program or a prestigious honors society in your non target school...then they expect something of the level of a target school kid...this is according to my understanding from speaking to recruiters...
