College Decisions: USC (Marshall/Viterbi) vs. U of Michigan (LSA) vs. Vanderbilt

Hi there! I'm currently a HS senior, and am having the same dilemma as many other seniors in my position: college decisions. I've gotten all of my decisions back (and most of my finaid information as well), so I was able to narrow my choices down to a clear top 3 schools:

USC: Primary major: Computer Science in Viterbi Engineering, Secondary Major: BBA in Marshall (also considering Economics in Dornsife if BBA is too hard for 4 years). Cost: ~45k (merit scholarship)

U of Michigan: Primary major: CS-Eng in College of Engineering, Secondary Major: Economics in LSA (applied to Ross preferred, denied) Cost: ~65k

Vanderbilt: Primary major: CS, Secondary Major: Economics Cost: ~45k (gift aid, can fluctuate)

I was also accepted to: Rutgers, Northeastern, UMass Amherst, Lehigh, and Stevens. I am not considering these schools that much, but if there is a good reason to go to any of them, I will consider them more.

I am not entirely sure on pursuing a career in finance yet, as I am torn between working in tech/software in California, or finance in NYC. I have a decent amount of experience from high school (internship at Princeton for CS research, internship at Morgan Stanley for software dev., lots of personal CS/research projects with awards, leadership, etc.). Primarily, I'm looking for a job in PE or quant (in terms of finance).

I'd like to learn a lot more about how each of these schools/majors does with NYC bank recruitment, especially for the jobs I mentioned. Since I had an internship already, it might be a leg up, but it wasn't in anything finance related, so I'm not sure how that really translates (if anyone could speak to their own similar experience, please do). My family can afford Michigan if I can come up with a good reason to go (mostly in terms of career outlook). Vanderbilt's financial aid package is subject to fluctuation, while USC's merit-based aid will stay there for 4 years. I visited only USC so far, and I really like the campus, but I'd like my college decision to be mainly sourced from practicality.

Some questions I have: 1) Does LSA get much recruitment at Michigan? Does the EECS department get recruitment from finance at all? If I were to go to Michigan, would it be likely to attain the goals I have in mind? Is it worth +$80k over 4 years?

2) Does USC get any East coast recruitment whatsoever? If I were to go to USC, would it be likely to attain the goals I have in mind? Is it possible to finish a BBA and CS degree in 4 years at USC?

3) I don't really know much about Vanderbilt, but how do they generally fare with recruitment? Is it worth considering the school (I am currently leaning towards the first two)?

4) What can I do to best improve my chances at attaining my goals (both short-term and until college graduation)?
