UVA or UChicago Undergrad

I'm high school senior, making college choice between UVA and UChicago within next few days. My question is how IBs perceive business/econ grads from these two schools. I assume UChicago has an edge at large firms, but wondering if I can realistically pursue IB if attend UVA. Understand that I'm young and hard to know if IB is for me, but would like some experienced input as I make decision. Any thoughts about marketability of these two undergrad schools in IB or PE would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Agreed. If you are certain/more likely to want NYC IB however, definitely go with UVA.

At my BB superday(s) I routinely saw 5+ kids each from Columbia, UVA, GU, NYU, etc. and never saw more than 1-2 UChicago kids. Could be for many reasons but my point still stands.
