Undergrad UNC KF vs Michigan Ross vs UC Berkeley

I'm a very lost high school senior, who has luckily been admitted into a couple great schools which I've narrowed down to the three in the title. I'm in state at UNC and received a full tuition scholarship and direct admission into the business school, I've also been admitted into the Ross school of Business at Michigan but with no aid, and finally I was admitted into UC Berkeley but they have no guarantee of admission into Haas and no aid. Any advice whether it's what school you'd pick or how I can maximize the opportunities at each school would be appreciated!

If you’re good enough for a full ride at UNC, you’re good enough to land BBs here. EBs are a different story though, and if that’s something you really want, UMich would probably be a better choice.

edit: nvm I thought this was the IB forum. UNC is not all a good school for MBB consulting unless you are fine with competing for the few spots we send to  Atlanta/Dallas MBB
