IU vs Lehigh vs UW-Madison vs SDSU

Heyo,

I was recently accepted into the following schools and was wondering if you guys could give me your input on what you guys think is the best choice for what I am learning for. I will be majoring in finance. Right now, I am leaning towards investment banking, however just in case I have a change of mind, I would also want a school that not only is strong for IB but also good for going into corporate finance as well. If you could rank these for that, that would be great!

Lehigh University
University of Wisconsin-Madison
San Diego-State University
Indiana University
Fordham
Santa Clara
Penn-State
San Jose-State

Thank You!
