Shoot for the stars, and you will land on the moon. Going to target will definetly give you an edge, but if you were to look at the numbers, it's not really the end all and be all. Even if you look at a school like Indiana University, they place as many IB analysts across North America as Columbia. Same story in the UK.

I went to a target school, but markets and job markets really dictate everything.
