please help me choose a UG business program

i am a HS senior from Northern California. I have been blessed with these college acceptances: UC Berkeley, WashU, Tulane and Vanderbilt. Right now, i intend to major in business. However, this could change as i am also interested in political science. There is a good possibility that i will attend law school.

i would love to hear your opinion. by the way, WashU has listed McKinsey as one of the company that recruits from the school in their brochure. However, my relative who works and recruit for McKinsey told me that his company doesn't recruit from the school.

Can't opine on the consulting recruiting as that's not something I've pursued, however McKinsey is an incredibility difficult place to get a job so I wouldn't put all your eggs in that basket. If you want to do banking Berkley places well all over the west coast (pretty much on par with Stanford). I have a buddy that went to vandy and had a great time, pretty good finance recruiting from what i've heard as well.

 

Thanks! Need to check out grading and where have greater potential to get higher GPA. Is it true some firms have GPA cutoff to even look at resume?
