Based on the most helpful WSO content, NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) is not explicitly mentioned as a target school for MENA Investment Banking (IB) or Consulting. However, given its affiliation with NYU, which is a recognized target school for IB and Consulting globally, NYUAD likely benefits from a strong brand name and network.

In the MENA region, the American University of Beirut (AUB) is noted as one of the most represented undergraduate universities in MBB (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) consulting firms in the Middle East. If NYUAD is being compared to AUB, it suggests that NYUAD may also have a growing presence in the region, particularly in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but it might not yet have the same established reputation as AUB for undergrad placement in MENA.

For a clearer picture, it would be helpful to explore alumni placement data or reach out to current students or alumni from NYUAD to understand their career outcomes in IB and Consulting within the MENA region.
