OSU Fisher vs gtech scheller

Hey guys! I'm a senior in HS. I got into both schools. Georgia tech has slightly better placement I believe into IB. OSU Fisher is a top 10 b school right now and rising. They focus a lot into fisher. G tech under looks it's business school and focuses on engineering. OSU will cost me 45k total debt and I'll be in the honors program. GT will cost me around 110k. Please help

I want to work in investment banking/ VC. I have been rejected from most of the target schools and waitlisted at Georgetown so I will not find out about that until end may so I need to commit to a school in the mean time. I’m majoring in finance by the way. Osu fisher is ranked well and getting better; Scheller is connected to gt but not a focal point of the school.

One option is Ohio state as I live in the same city. I would only have to pay 13k per year. Fisher school of business is up and coming. they send about 30 kids per year into banking through a fisher futures program. They then send a lot into non BBs. I also will have 1 year of schooling done with credits from HS. Could possibly dual major.

Next I have Georgia Tech, where I would have to pay somewhere in the range of 100-110k total. It comes with prestige so I know that my chances will be strong there.

please give me some advice. all schools have pros and cons. I would love to go to Georgia tech but I feel I would be an avg student with a lot of debt in a prestigious place. At Osu I would be in honors and less competition. Would the dual major help me stand out against just a finance major at gtech? How is recruiting through both these schools?

Placement isn't too different from either school. If cost isn't a major factor, I'd consider fit. OSU is a massive state school with a known party culture while GT is (obviously) more tech-focused. Your social life and student experience will be very different at both schools and if you pick one you won't fit in at, not only will you not enjoy college, it will impact your ability to get your desired job out of school.
