<p>Also, sup, judging from your previous posts I highly doubt you are working in investment banking right now. If I had to guess, I would say you are a junior at UPenn. If so, stop talking about things you know nothing about.</p>
<p>
No, a target school is a place where MOST banks and boutiques recruit HEAVILY on campus. Indiana doesn’t fit either of those criterion because only a few of the BBs recruit on campus and they only take a few kids each year. Stop fooling impressionable high schoolers with this garbage.</p>
<p>Let’s look a little closer at Kelley:</p>
<p>Bank of America Merrill Lynch 5
UBS Investment Bank 4
Deutsche Bank Securites 2
Goldman Sachs 2
J.P. Morgan Chase 2
William Blair & Co. 2
Citigroup 1
Greenhill & Co 1
Lazard Middle Market LLC 1
Moelis & Co 1
Morgan Stanley 1
O’Neill & Partners 1
Perella Weinberg 1</p>
<p>Only Indiana’s placement into BAML would be at “target” level. Only 2 at Goldman? Only 1 at Morgan Stanley? Only 1 at JPM? Where’s Wells Fargo? Where’s Credit Suisse? Where’s Barclays? Where’s RBC? Where’s RBS?</p>
<p>[Lazard</a> Middle Market](<a href=“http://www.lazardmm.com/careers/recruiting.cfm]Lazard”>http://www.lazardmm.com/careers/recruiting.cfm)
Indiana isn’t even listed here for Lazard Middle Markets. That one person doing Lazard must have got it through networking. I wonder how many more of these 24 Indiana investment bankers got their job just through sheer luck, networking and family connections rather than academic achievement/knowledge of the markets.</p>
<p>Indiana does surprisingly well in IBD recruitment considering the fact that its one of the weaker schools its own conference, the Big 10. I wonder if the top PE/HF shops will view the Indiana degree as a liability though as some of these kids finish their 2 year analyst stints and try to move to the next level.</p>
<p>If you are going to post numbers, at least post correct numbers:</p>
<p>For SA internships the summer of 2010 (not FT), Kelley placed the following:</p>
<p>1 - Nomura - Corp. Fin.
2 - Deutsche Bank - Corp. Fin.
1 - Leerink Swann - Corp. Fin.
7 - BAML - 5 Corp. Fin., 2 PWM
4 - UBS - Corp Fin.
1 - William Blair - Corp Fin
1 - SEO - Corp Fin
7 - JP Morgan - 1 Corp Fin, 6 PWM
3 - Houlihan Lokey - Corp Fin
1 - Perella Weinberg - Corp Fin
1 - Morgan Stanley - Corp Fin
1 - HSBC - Corp Fin
1 - CitiGroup - Corp Fin
1 - BB&T - Corp Fin
1 - Sandler O’Neill - Corp Fin
1 - Lazard - Corp Fin
4 - Goldman Sachs - Corp Fin
2 - BP Integrated Trading - Sales & Trading
2 - Keybanc Capital Markets - 1 Research, 1 Sales & Trading
1 - Birinyi Associates - Research
1 - RBC Capital Markets - Research
2 - Group One Trading - Sales & Trading
1 - Permal Group - Research
1 - Royal Bank of Scotland - Corp Fin
1 - Grosvenor Capital Management - Long/short</p>
<p>I was told FT had about 20 more on top of similar SA numbers.</p>
<p>I am going to have to disagree with you when it comes to the definition of target. When a bank spends the time and resources to fly a recruiter to a school for interviewing potential candidates, it is a target.</p>
<p>You can imply what you want about the school, but I think I have proven that it is very attainable to get into IB from IU.</p>
<p>That investment banking workshop is very impressive. But it would be misleading to label Kelley as a whole a target since not all of Kelley has a chance at this program. Whereas the average Wharton, Ross, McIntire, etc student has a legitimate chance at a FT offer, I doubt that the average Kelley student is of the same caliber/ has the same opportunities.</p>
