NYU CAS Econ vs. Northeastern Finance Program

I am a transfer student accepted to both NYU CAS Econ and Northeastern's Finance program for the spring semester. I want to pursue investment banking in NYC, and I am having trouble deciding whether NYU Econ is a better choice than Northeastern Finance and which school I should attend.  

In addition, NYU offers no aid (would take on hefty debt going there). With Northeastern, I have a great aid package. 

If anyone has any insights or opinions, I would love to hear them. Thank you

I understand, but with these options, what is the better choice? I am willing to put in the necessary work to close the gap.

 

How good is the aid at Northeastern? I go to a target, but I've seen quite a bit of people from Northeastern on the street. If the aid is substantial, I would take the money and run.
