Accepted into a target, confused on what to do now

Hey everyone,

I'm a high school senior who got into several colleges and I am wondering with the right option is. Price does not matter:

UT Austin - Economics, not McCombs

UMich - Ross 

WashU - Economics, not Olin

As of right now I am leaning on Ross, but I did get waitlisted at several top schools like Stern and Wharton so if i get off I definitely will commit there. What exactly should I be doing now? I'm thinking of figuring out all the right clubs so once I arrive on campus I already know what to do. Going for investment banking, any thoughts/advice?

Touch grass and enjoy summer with your friends social skills go just as far as anything else

 

Wait sorry I meant that I got waitlisted at Wharton and stern. But if I get off I’ll commit to either of those. I’m thinking the best school for me to commit based off of my acceptances is ross
