Which schools/targets look the most attractive in 2021 to break into IB for someone applying this year?

Besides the obvious Harvard/Wharton/NYU which schools would you all say look particularly attractive this year? I’ve seen some people discussing some unexpected schools like Wisconsin which I hadn’t seen before being discussed as a target while researching and I’m wondering if there are others which might stand out compared to past years.

UVA, UNC, UCB, Notre Dame, and Vanderbilt also fall into the target or high semi-target range
