Please help me comprare UIUC, UI Kelley, UVA, and William and Mary for undergrad business.

I am a high school senior and assuming I get into the schools mentioned above, how do they compare in terms of undergrad business and for investment banking?

Aside factors like tuition, I am interested in your guys opinions. Thank you in advance!

Agreed - small schools with loyal alumni bases on the street > giant schools who require you to get accepted to a separate more exclusive thing.

I have a running theory that how much of a "target" a school is is defined by how few additional hoops you need to jump through to have a chance in IB. Super target = you can major in anything you want, never put time or effort into networking or finance clubs, and still pull interviews (HYPSM), regular target = econ and finance majors who put some effort into networking or ECs will land interviews (NESAC schools, lower ivies), semi target = need to be accepted to an undergraduate business program (UVA, Michigan, BC), low semi target = need to get into a workshop, club, or fund to have the chance of getting in (IU, Penn State, etc).
