Notre Dame (Mendoza) vs Colgate vs Bates vs Wesleyan for IB

Hello everyone! I have been accepted to Notre Dame (Mendoza), Colgate, Bates, and Wesleyan for UG with nearly full rides, and I'm looking to break into Investment Banking. It would be really helpful if you could share your experiences with these places, their representation on Wall Street, and alumni support!

Notre Dame hands down especially since you have a near full-ride. You can go anywhere in Chicago and will have good OCR access to NYC. Not sure about West Coast but I am sure it is doable. It is one of the highest ranked business schools in the country
