Undergraduate College

I've officially heard back from all of my schools. I'm considering Brown, Emory, WuSTL, UVa, and Michigan as my top 5. I'll be visiting all of them within all the next month. Cost is similar among all schools, and not a huge factor. Thoughts? I'm leaning Brown right now.

I don't know the exact numbers, and I'm much more familiar with udergrad recruiting at Ross than McIntire. I know Centerview, Moelis, BX, Evercore, and the typical BB/MM firms recruit at Michigan. Between the SA interview process, SA gig, FT interview process, and FT analyst class I'd say the schools I come across the most in no particular order are: UVA, Michigan, Penn, Duke, and Stanford.

 

Thanks to those who have offered advice so far. I'm actually not positive that I want to go into investment banking, which makes me lean Brown. The other avenue I'm really considering is law school. To be honest, I might be better suited for law school, since I'm much better at reading/writing than math. I've taken a practice LSAT and gotten a 170 cold; when I took a GMAT, I got a 97% percent on Verbal but only around a 60% on Quant (again, cold).
