Undergrad Business - OSU (Fisher) or UMD (Smith) or Syracuse (Whitman) - Realistic rank?

I would love to get feedback on the reputations of the undergrad business programs at University of Maryland, Ohio State and Syracuse. I'm not sure if IB or PE is going to be my thing, but I want the option there also if I kill it GPA wise. I know none are targets but I'm from near NYC and have some connections on Wall Street who went to these schools, though not recently. If you had offers from all three what where would you choose? (OSU and UMD also a lot cheaper than SU and not as much snow, but leaving that aside for arguments sake).
