Help me choose a school?

Hi everyone, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place.

I'm a highschooler who's interested in in AM/HF as a career, and will be enrolling into college in Fall 2018. I've gotten into Claremont Mckenna and Swarthmore, and am trying to decide which one would give better opportunities for getting into the industry.

Disclosure:

They are the same price, and I'm ambivalent between the east and west coast.

I fully admit that recruiting opportunities are not the sole factor in me, but it's definitely a key consideration.

Thank you for your time!

p.s. I've been managing a $50k portfolio for my family over the past 2-3 years, and really enjoyed the research process and constant intensity that comes from trying not to lost money while beating the market. Hence my interested in HF/AM.
