European target schools (comprehensive list)
Hello, after having discovered WSO a few weeks ago, I have come to realize that there is no comprehensive list of European target schools for Investment banking...
Could someone kindly provide us with a list (featuring targets, semi-targets and tiers in each category)?
I think it would help many European students as there is a lot of talk about US targets but not much for Europe (which is understandable, WSO having more members living in USA).

Depends on the program but for MFin/MiMs it's the usual suspects.
Top tier: Oxbridge, LSE, HEC, Bocconi, Imperial
Then you have others that are quite good but not in the top such as UCL, SSE, IE, ESADE etc.
You then move onto the regional targets e.g. CBS for Scandinavia, Nova for Portugal, WSE for CEE etc. Plenty of rankings out there
To be added to your list:
Top tier: LBS and INSEAD.
Second tier: St Gallen, ESSEC , ESCP, Paris Dauphine, IMD.
Third tier: EMLyon, EDHEC, IESE, Warwick, Cass, Rotterdam
All of these being in the target school category?
WhIch category does WHU comes in? Its a top regarded school right?
EMLyon, EDHEC, Cass are semi targets, not full on targets

Tier 1: LBS, INSEAD, LSE, Oxbridge, LSE and HEC, Imperial
Tier 2: UCL, ESADE, ESSEC, ESCP, Paris Dauphine, IE, IMD and St Gallen
Tier 3: EMLyon, EDHEC, IESE, Warwick, Cass, Rotterdam
Maybe someone could give their opinion about this ranking? What needs to be added/moved?
Also, how do these schools rank in their given tier?
INSEAD is a bit rogue because it's basically only a target for Assoc recruiting.
