Choosing a School

First post on here, currently a senior in hs, strong grades and driven. Admitted into SMU and TCU which are my top choices. Majoring in finance, but unsure wether want to go down the road of ib, pe, hf, vc, buy/sell side, etc after college. My issue is that although I really like smu and they have a great alts pgrm/alumni ntwrk, tcu seems to be a better fit for me when it comes to social scene/campus and tcu offered me a extremely generous scholarship (not that financials matter). My debate is which school would put me in the best position out of college or are they both very similar in those aspects. If anyone has any advice for me that would be great.
 

Side-note: How often do those working in the industries listed above go back to b-school/when do they go back.
