ND (Mendoza) vs. Tulane ($$$)

I know ND is much better for IB (or any career in finance placement), but Tulane offered the Honors program and a $120,000 scholarship. Is ND worth paying double for? I personally like ND much more but I don't know much about TU. Any advice helps!

If you get a 3.8+, solid internships by the time you recruit for your Junior SA role, and network extremely well with alumni you'll be fine. However, ND will open up doors for you much easier. It is a target school for almost all the banks in Chicago and NYC. It has an extremely strong network, and you will need to do well, but it will be much easier than going to a non-target like Tulane.

(I went to a decent state-school, with a strong network in IB but is probably not even a semi-target; I was considering ND heavily)
