Doing my college search, wondering which of the following schools are best for getting into finance

LACS that I love: Washington and Lee, Colgate, Bowdoin Other Universities that I am considering: BC, Villanova, Wake Forest, William and Mary, Johns Hopkins

Any personal insight regarding how these schools tend to do regarding recruiting for finance jobs would be greatly appreciated! Obviously none are targets, but I want to know which of these schools will offer the easiest path into my desired field.

Thanks!
