I have applied to Michigan State University, Loyola University Chicago, Bentley University, and Northeastern University. I am wondering how they would rank as their place in business. Obviously they are not target schools for BB investment banks and I am not looking to hear that, I am looking for them ranked against each other.

Just my thoughts (current MM IB Associate who went to undergrad and grad school in Chicago)
(1) MSU (2) LUC (3) Bentley (4) Northeastern
As long as you're not trying to break into IB, you'll be fine going to either MSU or LUC who recruit well for general business careers (ie accounting / management / marketing / non IB finance / etc.). Good luck!!
I do want to at least TRY to break into IB after undergrad, but I know my chances are not particularly high. What would you suggest I do to "break in" if I decide to go to MSU? Would it be near-impossible for me to do this?

I know MSU actually places a lot of kids into IB, so long as you are a member of the FMI on campus. Really well run organization and consistently placing kids into solid banks. As long as you get great grades and are a part of that organization (granted, you are a hard worker as well) you should have no problem finding opportunities.
