Carnegie Mellon, semi-target?

I see lots of strong, non-Ivy schools mentioned in this forum that are high feeders into Wall Street. How well regarded would you say CMU is? Would it be semi-target at best? I know the school is heavy into engineering/computer science, but gets good overall/business school reputation because of it.

CMU Tepper is honestly solid, I would say it's probably a semi-target

 

Okay its a semi since less people apply but I’m a freshman and got a bb interview and multiple places. I mean just network cmu network is outstanding
