HYP undergrad experience

My ultimate goal of life is to be a philanthropist. I’m planning to experience many professional careers to learn and build networks for expanding charities and community services. So, I’m looking for good job placement in finance field as well as good liberal arts education. Plus, I think it would help me network with wealthy and influential people if I get used to old money culture and people at college. Where would you say most suitable college is among HYP? I know they all are top schools for any field. But still, which would be the best considering my background and situation? I also worry that I would feel excluded bc I’m poc. What do you think? I’ll probably major economics or any other social science major. Not planning to attend grad school as now. Schools other than those three are always welcomed too.
