Perella Weinberg doesn't recruit at top targets?

Perella Weinberg on their website says that they only participate in OCR at the following schools: Brown University Emory University Georgetown University Indiana University Stanford University University of California – Berkeley University of Pennsylvania

This is a relatively short list even for a smaller firm... Can any students at HYP or any other top targets confirm that perella weinberg doesn't show up to OCR

Do you guys reckon its easier to get into PWP through their non-OCR recruiting than other firms then? With such a short list they surely have to pay more attention to their other recruitment channels right?

 

Interesting. I was just wondering if it was a case where they had a small list of core schools because they were open to all kinds of backgrounds, or if their list was so small because they only wanted their core kids. Surprised to hear it's the latter. While all BBs and most EBs recruit at my school, there are a couple of MM firms and boutiques that don't and in order to maximize my chances I wasn't going to neglect them solely because they didn't show up.
