College Advice

I am a student who resides in NYC interested in studying Accounting or Finance. I have to have my decision in by May 1st. Below are the colleges I am considering and have been accepted into: 

Macaulay Honors at Baruch ( free tuition / money towards study abroad / free MacBook ) In NYC 

Lehigh University ( 60,000 per year ) 

SUNY Binghamton ( 30k per year / First Year Research Program) 

Loyola Maryland (35k pr year / Business Honors College ) in Baltimore

Waiting to hear back from ivies 

What college will best set me up for a high paying job straight from college?
