Need help with College choice and pathways

Im looking for advice on where to go for undergrad and whether I should transfer or how should I approach this. I applied to 8 schools UCLA, NYU, UCSD, Notre Dame, Cornell, Berkeley, Santa Clara, and USC. The only schools I got into where UCSD and Santa Clara, I am still waiting on Cornell and Berkeley. My number 1 was NYU Stern for finance but im not sure where to go now. I am very interested in stocks and finance. Can someone help me with what to do, where to go, and how to approach my future. Thank you.
