Undergrad Decision for IB (Indiana, Colgate, Wisco, UMiami, Lehigh, Bucknell)

I am deciding between Indiana (direct admit into Kelley), Colgate, Bucknell, Lehigh, Wisconsin, ans UMiami. I also got into a guaranteed transfer program at USC that I intend to pursue. My goal is the get into BB investment banking right after college. Preferably in NYC, Miami, LA. I would be a finance major at every school except Colgate, where I would be majoring in Econ. I also plan to double major in college, but don’t know what yet. Right now, I am leaning Kelley due to the business reputation and IB Workshop, though I do dislike Indiana’s lack of reputation as a whole. I know Colgate also places well in NYC, and umiami in Miami. Which program would give me the best shot at breaking in IB and/or PE first year out of college?

You've made this thread like 5 times. Go to whichever one you like most and transfer to USC. All other schools arent that great for IB except IU 

 

I think blackpepple01 is reviving all the dead Bucknell threads. Please make it stop LOL.
