College list

I am a high schooler wondering if this is a balanced college list where most schools (other than safeties) will set me on a good path for getting a job in IB.

Reaches: UPenn Notre Dame NYU

Match: Villanova Boston College Wake Forest

Safeties: Fordham SUNY University at Buffalo

A lot of people on this site definitely have stressed how important where you go to school is when it comes to landing interviews and jobs so I just want to make sure I am on the right path. Thanks!
