Which undergrad should I choose for finance/IB?

Hi, I am in the midst of deciding between Queen's Comm, Ivey, Waterloo Financial Mathematics with Co-op, McGill, and UBC.

I'm looking for a program that stands out/ is well recognized amongst hirees in top IB firms and has a good balance between an academic and social life.

Can you please rank these programs in order and describe a bit about their undergrad experience?

Thanks :)
