I will be attending Emory University in the fall and I would hope to enter the investment banking world after graduation. So I was wondering how much of a target Emory is and how prestigious the school is. Also what schools would you put in the same tier as Emory?

not much of a target
not a target - may fit in that awkward "semi-target" mold. Just look up where recent alums are on LinkedIn, and compare that to solid core recruitment schools.
It doesn't have a reputation for sending 60+ people to IB every year like most targets do, but I do know people who have gotten jobs. It's a good school, so as long as you network and get your resume out, you should get some interest. The main problem is that I don't think there's a lot of on-campus recruiting or a big alumni network for you to leverage.
ok thank you guys, i just wasn't sure because it's as competitive or more to get into Emory as it is for some of the other schools that are considered "targets"
That's probably true. There are less selective schools that feed a lot more students onto the Street -- the top public schools come into mind (UVA, Berkeley, Michigan, UNC). These tend to be marginally less selective but the coursework is probably more difficult than most private schools in the tier just below the lower ivies.
laz, Citi cmo, and middle market places (Nomura type places) are the only places who recruit oncampus, i believe.
Very large Lazard presence.
I would say Emory is a strong semi-target school
Strong recruitment from BMO, SunTrust, Barclays, Citi, GS, Jefferies, PWP, Lazard, & HL
1 Centerview, 3~4 Lazard (with 1~2 laterals ending up at Lazard eventually -> 5~6), 2 JPM, 2 GS, 2 Barclays, 2 Citi(including 1 ECM), 2 BMO, 1 CS, 1 MS, 1 DB, 1PWP, 2 HL, 2 Nomura, 2 HBSC, 1 Evercore etc, ( My class sent around 25 kids to BB,MM in NYC)
And around 10 kids got offers from places like SunTrust, Brookwood, Kurt Salmon Advisors, CHILDS Advisory, Marathon Capital (Chicago), Baird (Chicago), KeyBanc, Stephens, Raymond James, TM Capital (mostly regional MM or boutique)
Occasionally Roark Capital Partners (6B AUM PE in Atlanta) takes 1 analysts from Emory Vista Equity Partners (20B in cumulative AUM) took 1 analyst BX Real Estate (Atlanta Office)
As for consulting 1~2 BCG (atlanta office), 1 Bain (atlanta office), 15+ for Big 4 and 2nd tier consulting/ Advisory
Semi-Target
Current Emory BBA here. We actually have a presence (larger than you would expect) on wall street and continue to grow. We are a core/OCR school @ Citi, Lazard, HSBC, Perella Weinberg, Houlihan, BMO & Mizuho among quite a few others. We also have quite a few kids every year go to Goldman, Credit Suisse and Guggenheim. Not to mention our relationships with several banks are improving. Have had kids go to Centerview, Evercore, Blackstone in past 2/3 years among others. Long story short, you'll get into IB if you go to Emory. The BBA program is fantastic and the resources you will be provided with regards to career development are extremely impressive.
I'm happy to answer any questions about the school you have
I have a friend who is currently a senior there and will be doing MS IBD. He as well as all his friends have solid banking jobs. He also did have great underclassman internship experience so that is also a contributing factor. Just get involved in clubs and get a leadership role. People respect emory.
