Imo, Northwestern is, by far, the best option for an overall undergraduate program and offers great opportunities (I don't go there so I don't know). In my experience in recruiting, I've seen one UVA person and a few Umich Ross school kids. Both are target programs, but since both schools are so big, it would be hard to be part of the few kids that get great offers. In any normal distribution with that many kids, there will be some great outliers. However, if you think you are the best, it don't matter.

And I didn't go to any of these schools. So, take everything I just said with a grain of salt.
