~School Choices~

I'm about to transfer schools and I'm an incoming junior. I'm really having a tough time deciding on which school I should choose, so please, any opinions are welcome, especially if your an alumni of one of the schools or know anyone who attended.

Schools I was accepted to and I'm considering:

-Southern Methodist University -University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign -University of Washington -Marquette University -Penn State

Can anyone offer me valuable insight in terms of Internships, Quality of Education, Alumni Network and Overall Cost?

Looking to go the standard route of 2 years in IBD, with my end goal being a Hedge Fund. Thank you in advance.
