Undergrad options for international students

Hey guys, going to apply to a few schools in the USA, would like some safe school recommendations that would still be able to get me into boutique IBD and or private credit shops. Looking forward to hearing your recommendations

There are incredibly comprehensive lists of semi targets and non targets all over this forum, recommend doing a search. Recruiting as an international is tough but school doesn't have a ton to do with that, obviously go to the best school you can and do a STEM-eligible major for the longer visa time but there aren't schools with way better pipelines for internationals or anything
