Stanford vs Dartmouth vs Columbia vs Georgetown vs Cornell vs Notre Dame Full Ride

Cost is 30k a year everywhere except notre dame. Can anyone on here shed some color on what recruiting for IB and buy-side opportunities (PE/Growth/VC/Distressed) looks like at these schools and how they would decide between them? Personally, really want to go Stanford, Columbia or Darty but have been put off Stanford in particular by the overwhelming sentiment on here that their IB/PE recruiting sucks. Would love to hear what everyone thinks about recruiting or even culture at these schools.
