Dyson AEM (no aid) vs Georgetown MSB (no aid) vs Emory (Full Ride) Vs Vandy HOD+Econ (Full Tuition Scholarship)

Hi everyone, so I was accepted into the above schools and currently deciding between all of them. I am interested in business and recruiting to top consulting/finance firms is something that is important to me in gaining experience. But ultimately, my long-term goal is to end up working in the airline industry in a network planning/corporate development capacity. From my readings, Dyson and MSB have a strong presence in the Northeast while Emory and Vandy place students more in the South. I don't really have an idea of where I would like to end up after college.

I guess my question is whether it be worth turning down the scholarships to Vandy and Emory to go to Dyson or MSB instead for a more recognized and higher ranking undergrad business program. I would appreciate any advice on how they stand in areas of recruiting for BB and MBB/location/social life/prestige.  

Thank you so  much for the help!

Absolutely ridiculous to turn down Vandy/Emory full ride for Gtown or Cornell or anywhere really. You have to be smoking something special to do that. MBB placement for all of them is pretty similar. Emory does very well with EBs and Vandy does fairly well with BBs like BOA. Most people who do IB out of Emory/vandy go to NYC.
