Non-Ivey Target Undergrad?

Hi) I am form Europe but I've been considering studying in the US, majoring in Finance. My grades aren't stellar and I am looking for nonIvey (or generally less selective) target schools in the US. Is UoMichigan noteworthy? Or should I just stay in Europe (btw I won't get admitted to UK's top 10 targets for sure).

Cheers!

You should probably give us some comparative statistics first. If you’re unlikely to get into UK’s T10 targets it’s also unlikely you’re a match for the target schools in the US. They’re extremely competitive as well.

Non-Ivy Targets: UChicago, Stanford, MIT, Duke, Georgetown, UCLA BizEcon/Berkeley-Haas, UMich, UVA, NYU.

I don’t think I’m missing any but there’s also a ton of schools that have GREAT placement like Vandy, Notre-Dame, UNC, USC, etc.
