Michigan or UVA (whichever one is in-state for you).
Thanks!
Why not Georgetown though? (Assuming all constant cost)
They are all peer schools and will give you more or less the same opportunity set , but Ross and UVA are significantly cheaper for in-state students so it would be a no-brainer if that was the case. If it isn't, then go wherever you you feel you will fit best.
I would say though that as early relevant work experiences become more and more of a must have and a deciding factor into IB recruitment, you'd have significantly more opportunities to do part-time internships during school and get relevant experience at GTown than you would at Ross and UVA because of location.
Thanks for the response and insight!
Assuming constant cost go to the school you like the best - they'll all have their own unique cultures / vibes that can significantly change your college exp. From my view they're pretty equal in terms of how they'll set you up for banking.
Georgetown isn't worth shelling out a ton more money IMO if you can get in-state from the others.
A. Georgetown
Ross no brainer. Way more fun and will allow you to get to a BB if you do what you have to.
