Which LAC to go to for IB / Consulting? Help Decide

I am an Oxford graduate and work in finance in London. My brother got an offer from Macalester/ Grinnell / Oberlin / Franklin & Marshall / Denison. He got almost 85-90% money from all so everything in a similar range. he's personally deciding btw F&m and Macalester but could be swayed. Other option is to go to ucl/imperial/lse (in uk where he pay full but parents not willing to give money) ....how are all these colleges viewed for ib mbb consulting in the USA? i am not based there nor do i have friends and im not in a position to offer any feedback...pls share thoughts... are these preppy schools or more like artsie / hiper...are they percieved highly in the USA..thanks
