Mid/Bottom-Tier boutiques in SF for non-target

I’m a rising junior at a non-target in the Bay Area. I pretty much have no shot at EBs and other top-tier SF boutiques like DBO Partners, LionTree, and Qatalyst. What are some of the mid/bottom-tier boutiques I can shoot for?

Will update my computer soon and leave Incognito so I will disappear forever. How did I achieve Neanderthal by trolling? Some people are after me so need to close account for safety.
 

he's looking for lower tiers he's non-target. Why are you telling him unhelpful info ###?

I think he will need to look at banks that are one-man shops or ten man shops but getting good deal flow like INCENTRUM GROUP OR UNION SQUARE OR GCA OR FT PARTNERS OR CODE advisorshttps://media1.giphy.com/media/Y4n2kBbEYjeGIvQSA1/giphy-downsized.gif" alt="terrible" />
