people on this forum keep talking about the "target schools." i'm very new to this whole process, but i'm just wondering what business schools this term refers to.

 

Top target schools for IB are: harvard, wharton, columbia and chicago. By target, I mean schools which consistently place more students in BBs as compared to other schools. These are the schools which recruiters identified to us students as their top schools for recruiting.

Some schools are very good, such as stanford, but you will find less of them in BBs primarily because their students are less interested in IB.
