Boston University for IB?

I am an economics student at Boston University thinking about doing an IUT to the Questrom School of Business for a concentration in Finance. I know that BU is not a target school (some claim it's a semi-target for GS but I have no idea if that is true) however, I am curious as to whether or not it is reasonably possible to get offers from BB or EB firms.

Went to BU, fantastic school. Didn't have a single professor from an purely "acedemic", all real world, hedge fund managers, bankers, etc.. that chose to teach because they purely needed something to keep busy post-exiy. Best decision I ever made. Had interviews with goldman, blackstone, etc, no problem. That being said, still takes effort and grind, academics are rigorous too. But you cannot go wrong with BU.
