Villanova v. Fordham v. Binghamton Undergrad Business

I am currently a high school senior from NY and I was hoping to get some input on my options for next year. The only schools I was admitted to were Fordham's Gabelli School of Business (RH), Villanova School of Business, and Binghamton School Management (and Loyola University Maryland, but I've kinda crossed that one out). All four schools cost within a few thousand dollars of each other after scholarships, so money isn't a big factor. Essentially, I'm trying to figure out which program would best set me up for a career in IB. At all four schools I declared finance with a minor in international business.

I don't know if it's worth noting, but at Fordham and Binghamton, I am in the respective honors programs - Global Business Honors at Fordham and PricewaterhouseCoopers Scholars at Bing.

I know none of these schools are targets - or probably not even semi-targets - but I'd still appreciate any insight into the benefits/drawbacks of each of them. I'm was also waitlisted at a few places (UVA, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Colgate, Middlebury, BC). I know getting accepted off the waitlist is unlikely, but in the event that I can choose from one or more of those, I'd also appreciate any suggestions on which to pick.

Thanks in advance for the help. I'd really appreciate any advice you guys might have.
