Umich LSA vs Ut Austin Mccombs (Non-BHP) vs UCLA Biz Econ

Hey all, I am a senior in high school and looking for some college advice. I don't know exactly what type of industry I want to go into after college, but plan on potentially going into investment banking, real estate, or hopefully PE/VC. I am currently leaning towards UT Austin as I love the city, weather, business school, and culture; however, I would love to hear all insight on each school. Also, money thankfully isn't an issue, so that isn't a factor that plays a role in my decision.

UMich: LSA, probably major in psychology

UT Austin McCombs (Non-BHP): Major in Finance

UCLA: Biz econ

My biggest priority in college is to find a balance between having a good time, getting a solid education, as well as having great job opportunities after graduation. I don't know much about UT and UCLA with job placement, especially placement outside the south (UT) and the west coast (UCLA). 


Let me know what y'all think! Thanks.
