IB Placement Recruiting 2019

Hey guys,

I am a student from a top tier program in Europe (HEC, LSE, Bocconi, Oxford, Cambridge, HSG, LBS etc.).

This recruiting season, placement into IB in London was horrible at our school. According to other students and alumnis it was stronger last year and much stronger the year before.

Does anyone know the reasons for that and how do other people from the schools above think about this year's placement at their schools?
