How are these non-target kids from Texas schools getting placed to this years class? I heard that one kid from Texas A&M placed at JPM, two kids from Baylor at MS, and a few (not sure how many) kids from SMU are placing across the board. (Don’t know specifics on any of these kids it’s just here say). What gives? Are these kids well connected or are these schools actually being recruited?

Why are you mad
That boy sounds like a baby-back-bitch
Out of those, SMU is becoming a semi-target for NYC and is a top target for the Houston banks. Stay updated.
Could be a couple of things
1) Connections in the bank
2) A change in approach to recruiting
Coming from someone involved in recruiting I’d take a top 3 kid at a non target big state school over the scraps in the Ivy League every day of the week.
One trend I have noticed is that just the sheer amount of raw talent has shot up at texas high schools over the last few years. Lots of kids decline out of state options for cost reasons yet still want to pursue the same lucrative career paths. Awareness for banking has also gone up a ton as I am starting to see hs kids here decide on colleges based on banking chances.
Plus, considering that the texas unis are huge, there obviously has to be a bare minimum number of soon-to-be bankers in the crowd (can't just rule out thousands of kids).
Be humble dude. Most of those kids can run circles around the average kid from a target and they are way way hungrier.
