Help Picking Schools

Hello everyone, I will be attending university in about a month but I am now torn between 2 schools to attend. For the sake of privacy I will just call the schools School A and School B. School A does a bit better at getting kids on Wall St. but School B is beginning to get a lot more and soon I see it to be at the same level as A.

I have already committed to School A (can still change) but I recently learned that I was not accepted as a Finance major and therefore will have to be "Pre-Business", and I will have to choose a business specialty unrelated to finance until junior year. I believe this will effect my ability to find finance related work experience/internships and I will be less competitive.

I have been accepted to School B but obviously, for now, I chose School A instead. At school B I will enter as a Finance major and will have better opportunities for work/internships. School B is less "prestigious" but they are improving.

Thank you for any insight you guys can give me. I appreciate it
