Picking between LACs or Uni for Undergrad Degree

Hello everyone! Good day or evening to you all depending upon what time zone you're in.

I am a prospective monkey as the title of my post implies. By way of background, I am an international student from the subcontinent who recently got admitted to a few schools in the US. My goal is to get a job in IBD at a BB or a top Middle Market firm after undergraduate.

I got into the following schools: Macalester/Bates/Colgate/Grinnell/UCLA/USC/UMichigan/NYU. Macalester/Bates/Colgate/Grinnell have offered me roughly the same level of scholarship and assistance (70-75%). This is big for me as my parents are not wealthy enough to pay for 4 years of education. Your traditional universities (UCLA/USC/UMichigan/NYU) have offered me none so I'll have to take out a huge loan but I could be convinced to take it on if pros / cons warrant it.

I am hoping that some experienced guys on this forum can share any thoughts on how should I be thinking about my schools given my short term goal of doing banking. I have alumnus from my boarding school at each of these institutions, but I want an objective view (hence WSO) as no one likes to bash their institution. In addition, I also did a comprehensive LinkedIn search, and have found that there are folks like me (int'l students) who attended each of these institutions and that are doing very well for themselves (banking + investing); though at the risk of antagonizing someone here, I will venture out to say that on average most econ / finance / business graduates from LAC that I came across on LinkedIn seemed to have much better job placement (as a overall percentage of those pursuing a certain "major") vs. those at your traditional universities (of course not including IVYs and the targets). This made me think that perhaps alumni network is stronger and cohesive at LACs.... Please don't get angry as I have no intention to offend anyone here.

Can someone please elucidate me? Thank you so much in advance. I will be much grateful.
