Picking non target schools to apply to

Im currently a senior in high school applying to USC, Carnegie Mellon, Bentley University, UNC and NYU. Need advice on what other non target but good schools I should apply to. I have a good GPA, and many extracurriculars. I'm not trying to get placement on Wall Street, I just want to be able to get a good IB job out of college in any region.
