SMU vs UW Madison

Hey everyone,

I know these two schools are pretty different but I was wondering which is considered "better" (undergrad) for IB and/or equities trading. Does SMU have better internships because of location? Which is more heavily recruited? Do SMU undergrads work mostly in Texas and UW ones in Chicago?
Thanks!
