advice needed: emory full-ride vs duke (undergrad) vs usc
high school senior thats needs some advice on undergraduate college choices! i have less than a day to decide so really would love some more advice
tldr: like duke better i think, but is that worth the money and the extra pressure/competition of duke
my main concerns:
a) is duke worth the extra money career wise
b) is duke worth the extra money if i enjoy duke more on a personal/social level
c) i heard at top top schools like HYPSM you can major in anything and have a good chance at recuruiting for finance jobs, how well does that apply at duke? (though i am interested in econ i am also interested in psychology as well as maybe cs)
d) worried that at duke i will feel pressured into finance or consulting and feel like a rat race into the highest paying job, esp because it’s expensive perhaps i’ll feel obligated to do finance
e) do i need to save money up for an mba?
about me, my current interests and career goals
-currently consulting since most practical and enjoyable to me but i also do want to explore finance. i also really enjoy tech and entrepreneurship. since im very open to exploring career options i guess i want the most options as possible in college
-my parents say money isnt a huge concern 78 k for duke and 20 k for emory
not really considering usc as much anymore usc is another option (almost a full ride but still more expensive than emory considering other expenses) as well as georgetown. sorry if this post doesn't make sense as well, typing this in a rush
lastly, i wanted to say im super grateful to have both amazing options and to be in this "problem" and i hope i don't seem ungrateful. would just love advice and perspectives from those who are more informed

Duke and Emory have equal "confinement" to the South. Both are stronger in the South, both have the same non-regional recruitment paths.
