SF target schools?

Who do think are the best targets for SF, especially tech groups. While looking through analysts I really just see Berkeley… do most of these groups just recruit Berkeley alumni and then some East coast targets or do other west coast schools place well into sf as well. Any color is appreciated, thanks.

Berkeley obviously dominates all things in the Bay Area given how close they are and being a target school for most if not all industries within the region not just IB. You'll always see representation from UCLA and USC. Good number of people from Wharton, Booth, Sloan at BBs. All the other schools have similar representations I'd say.
