Help: BU Questrom vs. UIUC Gies vs. CMU Tepper vs. NYU CAS

I'm a high school senior torn between these options. I like IB because the prospect of broking deals excites me. But quant/trading also appeals to me because, in high school, I was in charge of the portfolio of our investment club for 3 years. So I'm open to see where life takes me. 

Questrom & Gies: Typical finance major.

Tepper: Plan to be concentrated in finance with a minor in computational finance or data science. With financial aid,

NYU CAS: Probably be doing applied math with a data science minor.

The cost of attendance will be similar.
