Choosing a College (VC/PE goal)

I realize that this section is mostly saturated with Business programs, and that I may be a little young but I couldn't find a better forum. This Wednesday I will be entering my senior year in high school, and am looking to be guided on the best choice of college. I have toured over 17 colleges this summer, and some look great. Regardless of what the campus looks like, I'm looking for the best college to eventually get a job in VC or PE.

SAT M: 720 CR: 730

GPA: 3.7

Sports: Varsity Crew for one of best crew teams in country (top 3) Notable Long-Distance Runner (6 competition wins in past year)

Extra Curricular and Jobs: Resume

The current schools that I am looking at are: University of Pennsylvania Tufts Northeastern Brown University of Chicago Lafayette Georgetown George Washington

Any feedback or advice on making the decision would be incredible.

Thanks, Kahlil
