Do Targets or Non-Targets Benefit More From a Bull Market?

During periods of extraordinary bull markets and much more openings at banks and other financial institutions, do they fill these extra spots by hiring more kids from targets, non-targets, or a combination of both? Who would you say gets the better end of the stick relative to where they were before the bull market?

The semi-targets and non-targets benefit the most in years with large analyst classes. Semi-targets that send 1-2 candidates to a bank may get 4-6 in good years. Unbelievable as it may seem, there is still a limited pool of qualified candidates (who are also interested in banking) at the target schools.
