Stop with the Target College Decision Posts

Genuinely I don't know how people still care about target schools. If I see another Columbia vs Northwestern or Cornell vs Georgetown or Harvard vs Wharton post on this site im going to crash out. If I can place at a BB from my non target where not a single bank came on campus then you can place from your ivy league school. It really isnt that hard!! Just pick a school and stop asking for opinions when it literally DOES NOT matter because every school is the same shit.

I mean it does get annoying after a certain point, but put yourself in the shoes of a high school senior about to make a life changing decision, they likely want as much info as possible (and maybe already have a decision made and want to further that bias with positive comments on WSO)


I personally don’t mind them too much because I can understand the very real stress that comes with it, I do wish though firstly on the students side thag people did more research on personal fit and also keep in mind they may not want to work in IB/PE, and on the commenters side I wish people stopped regurgitating info that may not be correct and make people think a school is better or worse than it actually is
