A&M (Full Scholarship) vs Dartmouth (Full Price) for Finance

I am offered a full scholarship at Texas A&M University, and I have also been admitted to Dartmouth (at full price). If I want to work on Wall Street someday, could I achieve the same level of success attending Texas A&M and saving the money vs Dartmouth? Or is Dartmouth the better way to go?

Darthmouth and don't look back. Dartmouth is miles ahead of A&M if you want to work in finance in any context. Only reason to go to A&M is if you're really strapped on money or want to study engineering and work in Houston, finance is not strong at A&M... might be a harder question if we're talking about UT-McCombs.
