Underrated Boutiques?

I have been doing research on different firms with SA 26 coming up really soon, and honestly dont think I will be getting a top mm or BB or EB just based off my school and other factors. Have been researching firms like Edgemont and Aeris Partners (Tech shop in Boston not buy-side shop) and am realizing there are options out there. Does anyone know other firms of similar standing to these firms that still offer a great analyst experience with a good deal flow? Also if anyone knows banks that recruit later (applications open mid february) I would really appreciate it.
