How much does being non-target affect PE recruiting?
Hey Guys,For a little background, I come from a very non-target state school with a very small presence in IB, and almost 0 presence in PE. Next summer, I will be a SA in a BB Coverage Group that's probably top 4-5 in its industry (at least from what I've heard). My office places quite well in MF and top MM-PE shops. Most of those people, however, came from very good schools.Anyways, I know that I first need to worry about getting a return offer, staying humble, keeping my head down, and grinding through my analyst years, but I would love to gain some of your guys' perspectives. How much will being non-target affect me, if I get the opportunity to recruit for PE?I can see a couple of disadvantages right off the bat. I know that I will have no Alumni network to draw upon and will need to approach networking the same way I did for IB. I also assume that I will get less looks than an analyst with equal performance/ranking, but is from a target.But will doing well as an analyst overwrite where I went to school, at least to some degree?Any insight is appreciated, thanks!

To be honest, if you recruit on cycle no one will know if you’re performing well or not since it’s less than 4 weeks into hitting the desk
