UNC KF vs UCLA Business Econ vs BC CSOM pls help

Hi everyone, I’m a hs senior and my current options are unc (assured admit to kenan flagler) and ucla (business economics). I am out of state for both. I also have Boston college csom but I am leaning towards the first 2. I am interested in ib, and I’m fine to pay for any option (money isn’t criteria when deciding). Which school would you guys reccomend, and where would I have the easiest time placing. I also heard that being an oos student at unc would give me a leg up at the top finance clubs, so is that true as well, and should I take that into consideration? I would greatly appreciate any advice and help. Thanks!

UCLA tbh - so many smart kids coming out of there & some great opportunities from a finance perspective. UNC also not a bad option. BC only if you are really in love with the east coast. 

All in all, weather, college experience, academics and opportunities combined, choose UCLA.
