Schools That Used To Be Targets But Are Now Semi-Targets? (or worse...)

Someone in another thread asked about a certain school upgrading from semi target to target and after answering it got me thinking...are there examples of schools that used to be targets but now aren't?

Purely just curious.

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“I found my career roadmap session with Constantin very helpful and informative. He was approachable, knowledgeable and communicated his advice clearly throughout the conversation. It was particularly useful to discuss my current position as a recent Economics and Finance graduate looking to break into investment banking, and how I can best approach the recruitment process. I appreciated his perspective on the industry and the practical guidance on improving my chances of securing interviews. The session gave me a clearer understanding of where to focus my efforts moving forward, particularly around networking, applications and interview preparation. Overall, a positive experience and I would be happy to work with Constantin again.”
