Questions about several UG B-School

I have several questions about WUSTL(Washington University in S.T. Louis) and Emory UG B-school Goizueta. Are they Target School? Do they have a lot of alumni works on the street? Thank you!

I wouldn't call them target schools, but they do have some people on the street. I think Emory might have the most out of those three, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

A lot of kids at Emory in the b-school come from New York and have parents/family members who work in finance. Not surprisingly a lot of them end up back in the city working in finance. Emory has a pretty good undergraduate recruitment program too.

Sometimes when you bring the thunder... you get lost in the storm.
 
nelly0WUSTL is considered a Semi-Target. It suffers because of location. I also don't think that many people coming from WUSTL actively pursue banking or trading. They are definitely more of a target for MM banks in Chicago and Houston though...

What is MM banks? May I ask?

What is MM banks? May I ask?

Middle Market banks--so banks that are not the 9 Bulge Bracket banks--JPM. GS, MS, Barcap, CS, UBS, DB, Citi, BAML. In trading terms, they are smaller shops. In banking terms, they focus on smaller clients and deals.
