Would you say BU is a non target or a semi target?
Just curious! I’ve seen alot of condescending opinions online.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, Boston University (BU) is generally considered a non-target school for investment banking and consulting. While it is regarded as one of the better non-targets, it does not consistently attract significant on-campus recruiting from top Wall Street firms or consulting firms, which is a hallmark of target or semi-target schools.
However, BU students can still break into these industries with strong networking, internships, and leveraging alumni connections. The "non-target" label doesn't mean it's impossible—it just means you'll likely need to put in more effort compared to students from target or semi-target schools.
