IU Kelley vs NYU Economics vs USC Marshall - Transfer, Interested in RX IBD

Just finished first year at IU Kelley with strong GPA, was admitted to NYU Economics (CAS, not Stern) and USC Marshall as a transfer student. Looking to break into banking, currently interested in RX.

NYU is more expensive than the other two yearly, interested to hear opinions if cost is both a factor and isn't a factor. Should I stay, or transfer into one of these schools?

USC and NYU have much better locations, but at the same time, I've already established club positions and a strong GPA at IU. Would enter as a sophomore and have around a semester of networking/club experience before starting recruiting for SA in Jan. Ok working for internship/post-grad in any Tier 1 city (NYC, SF, LA, Chicago)

All advice is appreciated, thank you!

Theres 5 total current incoming PJT RSSG at IU (including seniors who just graduated). I go to IU, clearly you do not. We have placed some HL Rx, haven't heard of EVR Rx placements, the rest include: Ducera, GHL, Laz, PWP, Moe, and Jeff

 

If you are in the good Kelley finance clubs, stay. Else look into the processes at the other schools.

 

As a Marshall grad, you’re better off at NYU for NYC placement. I do think Marshall is better rounded than Stern, so if you decide you don’t want to do Rx or even banking, I’d choose Marshall 10/10 times.
