Which undergrad college?

Accepted to Villanova, Colgate (Econ), Fordham, Richmond, and William & Mary. Still waiting on my deferral from Georgetown as well as UPENN and NYU regular but I am not as confident those will come back with good news. For context financial aid is not a component and I am lucky to have access to a very good network of people in finance through my high school. Which college should I pick if my goal is IB or ER and possibly an eventual exit to HF?

No use thinking about it until the big 3 come back. Don’t count yourself out before you actually find out. 


Nova is a good school though.
