College list for IB/AM/Consulting (Need help)

I am going to be doing college applications in a few months and would greatly appreciate any help editing my college list. I definitely want to work in finance but am not sure yet if I want to go into IB, AM, or Consulting (that is what college internships are for right?). 

Background: White male from Massachusetts. Upper middle class (cost is not a factor). 3.73 (UW) and 4.21 (W) gpa but should be around 3.85 (UW) and 4.29 (W) as my school has a different weighting system than others. 1420 SAT (710 math, 710 English). Will have completed 7 APs by end of senior year (Almost all other courses taken are honors). 4 years of track (by end of senior year), 2 years of soccer (I am definitely not going to be a recruited athlete). Founded stock market club, vp of investment club, class president freshman year, NHS member. I have done 50 hours of volunteering (will be 100 hours by end of summer). If it helps I also did some job shadowing at Sun Life (asset management branch) and Fidelity.
