Will I make it?

If I go to BC CSOM will I make it to a top BB EB or MM firm? 

How much easier will it be if I attended a target school (think NYU/UVA/Georgetown/Umich)

BC is a decent semi and enough for you to land a solid role if you put in the work

Will I be able to get the same opportunities at BC compared to the other schools I listed if i i put in more work/effort? 

 

The OCR and pipelines will be worse, and you'll have fewer alumni to reach out to, but you'll land a solid BB or MM spot if you put in the effort. Just don't expect a handful of great offers to pick from. Also, BC sucks at EBs, so look elsewhere for that.

Could you give me some names of BB/MM firms names?

 

That's easily google-able - resourcefulness and self-servicing are good skills to learn early on

It's not really fair to compare BC to the schools you listed if you didn't get in there. I mean, anyone would have much better odds if they went to Harvard but most don't. You will have to hustle at BC and I probably wouldn't have plan A contingent on landing at a top-tier EB or BB, but they do have alums on the street.
