Being a small market, it's not that clear cut and also dependent on what you study and where. Many will have attended KU Leuven, Ghent, UCLouvain, Vrjie, Antwerp, ULB, but schools beyond that list would still be relevant.

Hi there,
A general good rule of thumb is to go off of rankings! MBB/Tier 2 target the top universities in general. So, if you're in the top 2 / 3 in Belgium or top 10-15 in Europe, you're generally in a good position

Hi there,
This is what I would do to check the target schools with a data-driven approach (not only for Belgium but for any country):
- Go on LinkedIn and select current consultants for companies interesting for you in your target office
- Check the schools they attended
- Rank the schools based on frequency
Hope this helps,
Francesco

Hey there,
Generally all top b-schools globally as well as a few Belgium ones. In general, Belgium has much less focus on the target school concept compared to offices such as London where you need an Oxbridge background ideally.
Cheers,
Florian
