Best college for IB/HF recruiting?

Hey all. High school senior here in the midst of the college application process. Ultimate career goal is to open my own hedge fund in a major financial hub. I’ve applied to UMaimi (accepted, 50k annual cost), UVA (accepted, in state tuition), NYU (have a pending Early Decision application which I don’t know if I should cancel or not), Boston University (hear back in April), and UPenn (hear back in April). Since I got into UVA I was thinking about switching my NYU early decision to regular but I also heard that NYU was way better for investment bank recruiting. Any suggestions?? Thanks
