UMiami Herbert vs WashU Olin vs USC Marshall for undergrad

I am currently deciding between the schools listed above for undergrad business and am not entirely sure what industry I want to get into yet but am considering banking, real estate, consulting and private equity.

I am well aware that of these USC and WashU are stronger than Miami, however, Miami has long been my dream school and I have friends there and have forever wanted to go. I know it is where I’d be happiest and want to potentially get a job in Florida post grad. My question is how insane would I be to go with Miami over the other 2? I would save around 20,000 a year. I am not a fan of WashU and it’s location in the Midwest and don’t really have any desire to work in the west coast to be honest. In the end I want to know if the odds of being successful and breaking into banking or consulting or private equity are that bad at Miami when compared to the other 2.

Any input is really appreciated.
