The targets?

I know Oxbridge and the London unis graduates are targets by big firms, but what other unis are targeted by the big firms?

These are the tiers:

Target (c.70-80% of intakes)
Oxbridge, LSE, UCL, Imperial and Warwick

'Strong' Semi-target (c.12-16%)
Durham, Nottingham, Bristol, Bath and Cass Business School

'Regular' Semi target (c.8-12%)
Edinburgh, St Andrews, Manchester, Exeter, Loughborough, KCL

Shows up a lot, but generally non-target:
Leeds, Southampton, Sheffield, York, Birmingham

Also a fair amount of european target schools which would dilute the above percentages.

Good list -- largely realistic. But I'd bump Manchester up. It's regarded as good as Durham and Notts in banking and finance jobs.
