Blackstone Weird TargetSchool List
I go to Stern but have a cousin that works at Blackstone. He told me that the only schools Blackstone had OCR at last year were Harvard, UPenn, Duke, Northwestern and Georgetown. Does this mean its hard to get Blackstone if you dont go to one of those schools and is the OCR list changing for this year? Thx
It is extremely hard to get blackstone PE analyst roles regardless of if you go one of those or not
Will say that it seems to vary by group. My school (not listed) has strong placement into infra and corp.
I don't think they do active recruiting for BCP (flagship fund) anymore. Ik of ppl who broke into BIP (infra), TacOpps, and REPE from other targets that you didn't mention.
The school list doesn't really matter and I go to one of the schools you listed (I think the schools are correct since I only saw OCR signup postings for those five on Workday last year). At my school specifically, BX held a day of coffee chats and a second day for recruiting. However, the OCR aspect really only translates to 5 to maybe 8 total BX offers given out per school, so there's still a lot of room to place at BX if you don't go to one of the target schools. BX is weird about its target schools and I believe they do change over the years. The particular ones you stated are because Harvard/Wharton = supertarget and Duke/NW/Georgetown have tons of senior and analyst representation. I'd say just network hard and put in the work and you'll get an interview at BX.
Echoing this ^
yes, georgetown gets OCR from blackstone because their head of PE, joe baratta, is a georgetown alum.
it's like how dartmouth gets OCR from bridgewater, which is their fav school next to HYPSM & W, as their CIO, greg jensen, is a dartmouth alum.
evercore founded by a georgetown alum and tpg founded by a dartmouth alum, so both schools have big representation at their respective alumni founder firms too!
