Undergrad School Help (IU vs W&M vs NU vs SMU)

Currently picking between IU (Kelley), Northeastern (freshman year abroad), William & Mary, and SMU. Very interested in finance and specifically banking, but also obviously don’t really know enough.

Any recommendations on what I should be thinking about and how recruiting looks like on these campuses?
