Columbia / MIT/ Uchicago/Northwestern?? Which one is best?

Which one is the best for international alumni base and non banking roles? I’m coming from banking and have no intention of going back. If so, which school is best for me? Which one offers the best financial aid or scholarship?

And, can someone also advice which college has the cheapest tuition and give the most generous scholarship or financial assistance?

 

Tuition doesn't mean that would be the price you pay. Thats not taken into account scholarship or grants, so to better phrase me question. Which school generally give out the best grant and scholarship? And, i couldn't figure out which school give out good assistance from googling, maybe you can shed some light on that.
