Not sure either of those are even semi-targets, but I'd have to go with tufts if your majoring in STEM. I know northeastern has a solid business program but it is seen as a bit squishy; especially when you look at its competition in the area.

On a more important note; choose your college based on what you LIKE more, not exit ops. You are going to spend 4 years there and ideally will generate some of the best memories you will make. It is so much more important to enjoy the school you go to, even more so given both are somewhat comparable.

I am; but I have rarely seen it place anyone in IB/HF/AM/PE. The closest I saw it place to traditional IB was an intern at a local M&A boutique focused on food science.

Fair, but you'll get a decent idea of how much you'd like it there. Say you are a huge sports guy and get into Georgetown and Amherst - you'll likely enjoy Georgetown more (not 100% certain, but more likely).

I went to a target for a masters and hated it. I got a great job and a top company now, so it worked out, but jesus fuck the actual school sucked and I had bad vibes going in already.
