Best places for target with little experience

I was wondering which firms I should recruit for full time 2022. I’ll be working at a boutique consulting firm this summer and go to a top target school. I have a high GPA.

I have minimal technicals but can learn over the summer. Programs like Bridgewater, DE Shaw and P72 are ones I’m looking at currently.
