Which Undergrad School is Best for IB/Consulting (US/Canada) - OLIN, KELLEY - IU, CARLSON - UMN, U Toronto

Well, I have not been on WSO for too long but have already really been appreciating the advice and help I have been able to find. I haven't really found much up to date content on my particular situation and I am hoping to get some idea about where I should go to school next year if I am looking to get into MBB consulting or BB IB. I am okay with jobs in either the US or Canada as I am a dual citizen. I am looking strictly for the school with the most opportunities, networking, and recognition when it comes to the mentioned job prospects as well as creating an overall experience appealing to companies/B schools for MBA. I would really appreciate any and all guidance.

Wash U Olin - Econ & Strategy Major (Will pick up a Finance and/or CompSci major/minor as well). Likely most expensive

IU Kelley - Finance Major (Will likely pick up an economics/public policy and/or CompSci major/minor as well). Likely 2nd most expensive

U Toronto NOT Rotman - Studies in mathematics and physical sciences (basically undecided); will look to pick up Economics and/or CompSci (but have heard CS is hard to get). Cheapest option

UMN Carlson -Finance and Risk Management (Will likely pick up econ or CS major/minor) Is my state school, likely the 3rd most expensive
