Been seeing more people from LA non-targets like Pepperdine or LMU lately. What's the consensus on these programs?

Based on the search results, it seems like these programs don't have much IB presence as of the last few years. However, my college buddies and I (we went to USC) have been running into more folks from these programs spanning from MM (e.g. HL) to BB (e.g. Barclays NY). Anyone have some insights? Don't expect any profound answers, it's just interesting to me.
