Hi everyone, basically what the title says. Is UNC-Chapel Hill a target school or semi-target for IB? Would economics majors be given the same recruiting opportunities as undergrads in the Kenan Flagler Business School? If anyone in the school or knows anyone in the school that can shed some light on this topic would be very helpful

UNC has plenty of OCR opportunities but I think it is just for business school students not Econ.
My BB IB colleague went to UNC as STEM major - OCR is available to all majors, but he really grills non-business kids on why finance.
To be honest I find the word target vague and arbitrary, but to OP yes kids from UNC or most other top 30s can land investment banking jobs.
Bump
I'm in the b-school at UNC. Almost all the top IB firms have some form of UNC alumni representation. BAML/MS/GS/DB/UBS and the Top MMs have a strong presence. A bit harder to get through to Citi/Barclays/CS but they have decent alumni presence as well. Target for BB, but harder to break into EBs.
Thanks -- definitely working the UBS connection
No connection to RBC? Seems like UNC has a lot of work to do then
Haven't networked directly with any RBC people, but I know that they take a few from UNC. Don't really have an on-campus presence from what I know, but they might have a UNC recruiting team.
UNC is a strong semi-targe, I'd put it a little bit under UVA in terms of recruiting. To get most of the recruiting pretty sure you gotta be in KF.
probably edges out UVA on a per capita basis for bulge brackets, UVA easily wins for elite boutiques and MM though
UVA is probably the most overrated school when it comes to IB recruiting.
UNC Student here and yes its a solid semi target. to me that means yes you’re a target student but there’s a lot of conditions - either be in KF or have a strong background in another field, high gpa, good networking. with that most options will be open to you outside of Goldman TMT/PJT/evermore/ the likes...
Damn, I really wanted to place at evermore.
