Help Me Choose: Kelley vs Gies vs Farmer vs Smeal for IB

Sorry for adding another college post to this forum, however, I’m conflicted on which school I should attend for IB. I wasn’t able to get into any target schools, so my options are semi-targets/high non-targets. The schools I am considering are IU Kelley, UIUC Gies, Miami (OH) Farmer, and Penn State Smeal. Which college is the best for IB? I don’t care about placement in a specific city, so I don’t have a preference between New York and Chicago.
