Opinions needed on Northwestern and being international

I am going to be an international transfer to Northwestern University this coming Fall semester. I'll be majoring in Econ and will also try to get into the Kellogg Certificate Program.

I won't be receiving any aid so I'll be six figures in the red upon graduation. This doesn't worry me so long as I'm able to secure something decent in the US once I've graduated. I would really appreciate the advice of the more senior/experienced members on here, especially those who would have some knowledge about the immigrant process here.

My situation:

I have experience at several BBs in my home country, but they have not been client facing and therefore the exposure has been quite limiting in that regard. I also have experience working in other lesser known organizations and foundations.

Ultimately, I'd like to break into S&T/Banking or Consulting in the US.
