Undergrad: WashU Olin vs Boston College vs Emory Goizueta

I was trying to decide between these 3 for undergrad finance. I want to go into consulting, asset management, or IB. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

They’re all pretty good but if I had to pick then I might go Emory. Not a huge degree of separation though 

 

All are about equal, to be honest. However, I think that Emory and BC (BC has really strong VC alum base) are slightly better than WashU for finance recruiting. Also, Emory and WashU are seen as more prestigious generally compared to BC so keep that in mind as well (if you care about that sorta stuff). I didn't go to any of these schools, so this is largely based on the volume of people I've interacted with from these schools who are in finance (mainly IB, PE, HF, VC, PC). Long story short, I would probably choose Emory, but if any are substantially cheaper or more attractive to you (for whatever reason that may be) I would just go there and not stress it too much.
