High school senior applying to Canadian Univerisities.

I am currently in grade 12 in a Canadian high school. I am applying to Laurier (BBA and BBA + BMATH), Waterloo (AFM), Ivey (AEO), and Queens (Commerce). But I am unsure which one I would want to go to assuming I get in. Laurier and Waterloo are close so I would not have to pay for residence or anything but I want to do Private Equity (for example CPPIB). So I was just wondering if anyone could help me figure out which on I should go to if that is my career goal. Also, the tuition really is a big thing for me I don't want to be in huge debt but I want a good job. Thanks.

100% Ivey. Get ready to grind very hard and to hit the ground running (high GPA, networking, finding internships) on day one as competition at Queen's/Ivey McGill is different than at Laurier/Waterloo/other non-targets.
