Williams vs UChicago vs Pomona vs Claremont McKenna

I am currently a track and field recruit for each of these schools, and I have to apply ED to one to receive support in admissions. I am primarily concerned with the placement of graduates in the financial industry as a whole. Does having a liberal arts education negatively affect one's chances? Does being an athlete help during interviews or is it negligible? Which schools have the heaviest recruiting and placements among which parts of the country? Really any opinions are appreciated as the time for decisions is fast approaching.

Thanks!

Also if anyone can elaborate on the social scene if you attended that would be helpful too.
