Northwestern or Vanderbilt

I recently was accepted to NU and Vandy as a sophomore level transfer student from a non-target T30 school. I am interested in IB preferably in NYC but I am also content working in Chicago, I would rather be up north rather than down south post-grad. Both schools have investment banking clubs for networking purposes but I am curious if anyone can offer more input on representation of both schools on the street and how the schools are viewed in regards to course rigor, etc. I am currently an economics major at both schools. Thank you in advance.

I only found one thread talking about these two schools and wanted to see if there is any new info.

you're overthinking this and you kind of answered your own question. Keep it simple, stupid
