Choosing Undergrad Program for IB/Consulting (Emory, Tufts, Columbia, Hamilton etc.)

I’m looking to decide between my final choices as to which undergraduate program to attend next year and would love any advice as to which to attend. I’m obviously going to still consider fit and how much I like the schools, but guidance as to their placement/general student life would be appreciated. Currently planning to go into either IB (prefer NYC) or consulting. 

Here are my choices:

  • Emory
  • Tufts
  • Columbia with the International Dual BA program with Sciences Po (2 years in France, 2 at Columbia)
  • Lehigh
  • Hamilton College
  • Colby College
  • Fordham with the Global Business Honors Program (seems to have really good placement)
