Colgate vs. Colby undergrad help

Can anyone give me advice on which school to pick for undergrad? Both schools are almost identical on paper in terms of academics/quality but Colby has an edge in rankings and is expected to jump a few spots again, maybe ranked 10-12th. I checked linkedin however, and Colgate's alumni base seems to be much stronger, with a significant number at GS Citi Deloitte McKinsey etc.

I'd go with Colby. Obviously I don't know this for sure, but I suspect that Colgate's alumni network is largely a product of the student body's family connections etc. Still, that network could help you. I think for someone with no connections, the schools offer similar opportunities, ie.) at either school, you'll need to hustle and network hard for a solid job.
