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.
all of those are semi-targets except for probably Hopkins. Fantastic school but heavily engineering/pre-med focused so I am guessing less OCR.
Agreed
Hopkins non-target, USC marshall is a solid semi-target
Does USC Marshall have any half decent East Coast placement?
USC Marshall is great for West Coast IB recruiting. UT-Austin is really good for Houston recruiting, can also make it to NYC with a little more legwork.
Vandy and BC would be your best bets for NYC recruiting.
