Are Mid tier LACS still worth it?

I’m applying to 2 LACs, CMC and Middlebury, and I’m wondering if they are still worth it for IB recruiting. It’s been pretty hard to convince my parents for me to apply because they are relatively unknown.

How is IB recruiting at these schools and will it still be worth it for me to attend (if admitted) next year?
