List of post-MBA target / semi-target schools for IB that aren't top 20

As title says, looking to make a list of the post-MBA target / semi-target schools for IB. Obviously the top 20, but am looking at what schools have OCR or strong relationships that are lower in the rankings. Firms can be regional, middle market, boutique etc.

If you're asking for MBA programs not ranked at least in the top 20 that have OCR for banking, you can dig all you want, but you will not find anywhere with significant OCR. I think a lot of the places in the 20-30 range will have a couple very small places looking for associates, but not much more. I suggest looking at placement reports to find the IB% and possibly looking on LinkedIn as well. Cross reference these %'es with class size and figure how many people went to banking - 4% of 200 students isn't terrible at a >20 ranked school.

Right now on US News (never trust rankings) Georgetown is ranked 21, so if I had to recommend a school outside 20 this would probably be the one.
