Hello everyone. Preparing for summer analyst recruiting this winter, mainly targeting BB/EB IBs. I was wondering if MBA associates from my current school have any power with recruiting or leverage with the school teams. Let me know if anyone has some insight on whether it’s a good idea to reach out to them. Thanks.

Bump
I once spoke to an MBA associate who told me he's involved in summer analyst recruiting from his undergrad alma mater, not his MBA school. I do imagine it varies by firm, however. Can't hurt to try!
Lots of banks group all school teams together so it can't hurt. I would prioritize analysts or A2A ASOs but it doesn't take that long to reach out to the handful of MBAs too
