Northeastern University Semi-Target?

Hello all, I am an incoming freshman at Northeastern University Boston this fall and was wondering what the placements are at any top bank and consulting firms (think MBB) as well as if it is considered a Semi-Target or a Non-Target from a recruiters perspective and what GPA I should expect to aim for to break into these industries. Also wondering if I should start applying for first-year programs/internships at top places in the fall before I have a gpa and try and land something for summer of freshman year, or go with their planned co-op cycle (different start terms than the typical summer analyst positions/associate) and risk not getting one at all. Kind of struggling here and any opinions would be appreciated and helpful (keep in mind I have few connections in the industry so far and no one in my family is an MD/recruiter).
