UMich Ross / Rice / USC Marshall for MBB

Which of these schools place best for MBB or VC? At present, USC and Rice are far cheaper for me but I have heard that Ross places far better into MBB than the other two. My biggest question is this: where does an average student at each of these schools end up? I'm somewhat concerned that an average student at Marshall or Ross ends up at a regional bank or some other $50k a year job. Is that the case?

USC for VC, Ross/Rice for MBB.

USC has a great entrepreneurship program and is on the west coast making it easier for VC connections. Not sure about their placement into MBB but I know that Bain LA and BCG have a pipeline to USC. IB placements are also good.

Dont know about Ross or Rice but would assume good things.
