Undergraduate Target Schools for International Students?

I'm a High School Senior applying to the US from South East Asia, I have a few questions:

1) I plan on having a career in Finance, which school would open the most doors for me in NY? (I'd need visa sponsors(from firms) and a significant amount of financial aid(from colleges) so most public schools won't work)

2) Would Duke(ED) be a good choice? or should I nut up and apply to HYP(REA)? 

I believe I have decent chances at Duke, not sure about HYP. My application looks something like this:

  • Class valedictorian
  • President of two clubs and the student council, research, founder of a student organization, Internship, Editor for Student Magazine(featured in national newspapers twice; got my blog with 10k views), Varsity, and some other stuff.
