Boston College (Carroll School of Management Honors) vs. Carnegie Mellon Tepper School of Business

I was recently accepted to Boston College's Carroll School of Management Honors Program and Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business. I have always wanted to become an investment banker for preferably a major investment bank (GS, MS, etc.) I was wondering which would be the best option for me if I were to pursue this path? Which school would offer the best recruitment, internships, and most importantly job offers upon graduation?
As a side note, I was wait listed at Dartmouth.





Boston College, I'm in CSOM
Boston College, I'm in CSOM and it's truly a great program. On campus recruiting is amazing. We have JPM, GS, MS, BarCap, Citi, CS, Deutsche, and UBS recruit on Campus. We also have a few of the Elite Boutiques and many MM banks. I'm not in the honors program personally but am friends with a lot of the guys in it. They have a great time. They get to go on golf outings with CEOs and MDs who have graduated from BC (Andy Sage from Jefferies). Other than that, Boston is just such a better city to be in than Pitt. BC is a much more fun campus and the girls are way better looking. I know for a fact that the people in the honors program get highly recruited. Theres one at moelis, one or two at GS and 2 going to MS. A few others also have other BB ans elites. If you have any questions about anything else, feel free to PM. I'm going to be biased, but I honestly believe its much better if you want to go into IB.

Sorry, is this for undergrad
Sorry, is this for undergrad or MBA/MSF?
and is BC just as good for MSF?
As an alumnus of BC's rival
As an alumnus of BC's rival school, I am ashamed to say that the opportunities within finance you have at BC is tremendous.
(but go to Dartmouth if you get in)
Carnegie Mellon is the
Carnegie Mellon is the stronger name (reputation, ranking, salaries, etc.). However, both schools seem to be on par for finance/undergrad business. I'd go with CMU if you are more quant focused and BC if you want to have a better time.
This is for undergraduate.
This is for undergraduate. Keep the feedback coming, it has been very helpful!
