What's the point of going to a target school?
Sounds like a really stupid question but I'm confused. If a student who goes to Duke (just an example) needs relevant internships, finance club participation/leadership etc., and someone who goes to ASU can also get the same offer doing all of the above, what's the benefit of going to Duke? I know target schools have OCR, but wouldn't you still need to be an excellent candidate regardless? Hoping someone can clear this up
I’m assuming it has a lot to do with the network and it can also have an impact on PE recruiting
The school you go ultimately doesn't have any bearing on your ability to do the job or how "capable" you are as a candidate. The reason going to a target school is advantageous is because it makes getting in the door significantly easier:
