Undergrad Selection - Middlebury Vs Rice Vs Claremont McKenna

Hey all, another undergrad selection post here. So I was recently accepted to Rice, Middlebury, & CMC for finance and I wanted to get y’all’s take on which would be best for IB/PE. I think I can get a good BB offer from all three, but ultimately I’d love to be a MF PE associate. Right now I’m leaning towards rice, but is that insane? Would Middlebury/CMC give me better opportunities? 

 

All 3 schools are fairly similar, so choose based on fit/interest. Rice and CMC both have finance degrees and Midd doesn't, but they're all roughly the same tier for IB. Also wanting to do IB -> MF PE isn't rare, that's like every finance bro at all these schools.
