Vanderbilt, Tulane, Boston College

My goal is to work in investment banking in the future. I have been accepted to Boston College, Vanderbilt, and Tulane. All have similar prices. Which do you guys think would boost my chances of getting into IB?

Also, I’m not sure whether the banks would care, but I could play a D1 sport at BC or Tulane, but not Vandy.

Thanks in advance!

For NYC, I think it's basically a tossup between BC (assuming it's their business school) and Vandy. I think Vandy probably has the prestige edge, but I think BC might have the placement/alumni edge. However, if you are leaning towards O&G in Houston, I think Vandy would probably be the better pick -- I can't imagine a Boston school getting a lot of love in Texas. As for Tulane, I have friends there, its super fun, but I think Vandy or BC is definitely at better choice for acidemics/ getting into IB.

Definitely Vandy! Vandy has way more prestige than the other two. Any benefits BC has over Vandy is not worth losing the prestige over and Tulane is not even close.
