Colgate / NYU cas / BU questrom - which is more of a target

Hi. I'm an international student who will go to the States among these three schools. 

I know that none of them are really target schools, however, if I want to go to consulting after graduation, which school is more likely than others? 

Also, although I'm not sure and most likely to graduate in one of these three schools, if the opportunity allows, which school is suitable for transferring to t20 ?

Former CAS student here who actually studied math which has a phenomenal reputation for quant / math finance roles. For banking it’s less of a target than stern but you still get the NYU association which is great. You can minor and take courses at stern too to get exposure to the basics, and if you read up you’ll have a decent shot of something. Not saying you’ll land a top BB, but you will get interviews. I would suggest however doing something like Math, Econ, CS because it looks better on a resume. Just my two cents.

 

Similar enough in terms of placement where you should choose between which environment you like more cause they're pretty different in that regard.
