Is it common to see non-target students in corporate banking?
Internships or Full time. How big are the classes? Is it close to being as competitive as investment banking?

I think they are still very competitive, but perhaps a trifle less than IB. They still have their set of target schools (particularly the firms that have joint corporate/investment banking divisions). The same networking/process tools needed are applicable if one is looking to do corporate banking specifically, but it's important to have the response ready for why corporate banking. Given base is the same at the firms with this step along with 50% bonus, it seems like a fairly comfortable living given the 9-7 work day or thereabouts.
The technical questions from what I've seen are credit and debt focused. The WSO technical guide will probably help with most of the responses, as would the corporate finance section of the CFA level 1 curriculum if you are looking into this as well.
