WUSTL, Vanderbilt, John Hopkins, Boston College, UT-Austin, or USC? Semi-Targets?

WUSTL, Vanderbilt, John Hopkins, Boston College, UT-Austin, or USC. Are any of these schools semi-targets?

Not sure about USC, maybe a semi for west coast? I mean I can only offer some things about BC as a person not attending there but living in MA, BC is semi target I'd say?

Some IB will recruit from BC and I know 3 people personally who went into top BB in NYC for FT a year ago. You'll have to work for it like others but at least it's possible.
