High school senior deciding between Marquette, Michigan State, and IUB for Finance

Marquette: $36k

Michigan State: $42k

IUB: $53k

(Also waitlisted UIUC Gies)

Direct admit to Kelley but not to Broad.

IB would be the best but none of these are targets so I am looking to break into commercial/corporate banking or AM/WM. Would it be better to go to IUB and get into the IBW or am I better off saving money and going to somewhere else for CB/AM/WM? I'm aware of Marquette's AIM and MSU's FMI but I'm not confident about their placements.
