Help College Question? IB/PE/WM

Hello everyone I am a senior in high school with interest working in IB or PE eventually but more realistically middle market IB or wealth management. I enjoy investing my personal savings and have grown them well, and like to analyze companies financial reports and macro data. I was admitted to a few schools this year and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the schools I was admitted into. I got into Miami University in Ohio, Elon University in NC, and SMU in Dallas. I think SMU has the best programs to ge the into IB in dallas, but it is also very pricey so some insights on Elon and Miami in terms of job placement and learning would be super helpful!
