Undergrad at Fordham Global Finance @ LC or Baruch Finance?

Hi,

I am wondering what is a better option for undergrad if I want to keep my options open as an analyst at a global macro shop or land a spot on S&T @ a BB. Cost is not a huge factor, more so the alumni network and overall experience. The choice is between Fordham for global finance @ LC or Baruch for finance. Thank you.
