What School Would You Recommend For Me? (Investment Banking)

Context:

Student who applied to 46 schools and who is low income, senior in HS, trying to break into IB.


Schools I got accepted to for undergrad:

  • UT Austin McCombs
  • Babson College
  • Fordham University - Lincoln Center, Gabelli
  • Brandeis University - International Business Scholar
  • University of Southern California - Marshall 
  • Colgate University
  • IU Bloomington Kelley
  • Lehigh University CSB
  • Emory University
  • Georgetown University MSF

Money isn't an issue, except for IU Kelley, since I was offered a full ride to all of them.

Kelley places ridiculously well, but it's all because of their banking workshop. If you don't get into that, no point in going. Out of these colleges, Georgetown is objectively the best answer. Highest target rating out of those schools (other than kelley) Emory wouldn't be bad either.
