Georgetown (MSB) vs. Wesleyan vs. Rice vs. Vanderbilt vs. Wisconsin-Madison

Hey guys I am trying to decide where I want to go to school next year. I understand that I should pick a school based off how I would fit but I want to get some objective assessments of how the following schools are viewed by BB/MBB firms. Also, as I am not entirely decided on what career field I want to pursue, if any of the schools have specific niches and specialties within business that you know of, could you please include those as well? I just want some info about the reputations of these schools and your recommendations. Any information you have is greatly appreciated!
Georgetown (McDonough School of Business)
Wesleyan
Wisconsin-Madison
Rice
Vanderbilt

Georgetown or Vandy is the way to go. Not only for IB but also the lifestyle. Personally, I think Georgetown offers more options because of its location. If you late decide that IB is not for you, you can try government or law in DC. But be warn, it is very difficult to switch schools at Georgetown (MSB to SFS or GC).
