I’m interested in Corporate Banking, for all of the corporate bankers out there, how competitive is it. Is it still mainly kids from targets and semi targets?

A lot of the same target schools (Penn, NYU, Chicago) fill the roles, but in addition to some semis / non-targets as well... The biggest difference is the class size (where the new CB class is likely a very small fragment of the IB class).
It's definitely competitive. I remember interviewing at the Superday with 100+ other kids for only 20-30 spots. My analyst class was about 50/50 target and nontarget.
