Targets for EBs are pretty much the same as run of the mill targets. Maybe some of the state schools that are good for BBs are less so for EBs (Ross, Kelly, McCombs) but those schools still will place into regional EB offices
McCombs Ross and Kelley actually do very well with EBs. Moelis loves kelley for some reason, and McCombs isn't really good for NYC BBs.
Examples of schools where it's "easy" to land BB but harder for EB would be UNC or Notre Dame.
Western (especially for Evercore, HL LA / Minneapolis, and I think Moelis), UVA, Indiana (lots of love from Moelis, PWP, and Rothschild), Wisconsin to a lesser extent. That's just from what I've seen, I didn't go to any of these schools.
