Question about applying to the Big Three from a non-target European school

The email below is a short one from a reader based in France. He’s interested in applying to one of the Big Three consulting firms, but is concerned because his school isn’t a target school for any of those firms. I might be wrong, but I believe he’s asking about whether he has a shot as an applicant from a non-target school. His email was so short that it was easy for me to give a straightforward response and I didn’t include any text comments along with the video. I hope he finds my reply to be helpful.
