The rest
This is assuming job placement in IBD btw. If you want any job, any of the unis listed is fine. Fairly sure about the targets, semi-targets people can make a case for a few more or less.
Good list, only you're forgetting Cass Business School, Manchester, Edinburgh, KCL and nowadays Loughborough/Exeter in the semi-target bracket.
Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, Imperial, UCL, Warwick > Targets
Bristol, Durham, Nottingham, Cass, Edinburgh > Targeted by some, not all
KCL, Manchester, Bath, Exeter, St. Andrews, York > Not much difference between this group and the one above, but you tend to see less guys from these universities in IB
