IB/Consulting @ Northeastern, SMU, or UNC?

im a texas resident and im unsure on which school i should commit to for a career in high finance.

finances aren’t an issue for me because I’m low income & first gen. if given the chance, im unsure as to whether I’d want to pursue a career in IB or consulting, but I’m pretty set on either career path. what would be the best school for me given my circumstances? if you’ve attended one of these schools/hired from said schools, could you give me an honest opinion about them?


 thank you!
