Ohio State (Fisher) V. Indiana (Kelley) V. WashU (Olin)

Hello. I am a senior in high school and I have narrowed down the colleges I'm considering to Ohio State, Indiana, and WashU. I am looking to get into a finance-related career like PE/VC/HF, consulting, CRE, or corp finance (don't think I will like IB but would be willing to do it for a few years to get me into a good MBA school or another career - PE for example). Ohio State is in-state and by far the cheapest, followed by IU, which is double the price of OSU, and then WashU is about 20k more than IU. I am in the business schools in each of these schools. Socially, I'd love to be at a Division I school, as I enjoy watching sports and attending games. Also, I would like to have plenty of stuff to do on/around campus (parties/nightlife, restaurants, etc). However, I'd be willing to sacrifice a bit on the social aspect if one school is clearly better than the other for what I'm pursuing.

I know I've made some threads in the past about this, but I've eliminated all the schools I could and would like to make a decision very soon. Do you have any advice? Thank you for your help!
