Looking for Advice on Undergrad School

Hey guys this is my first post on WSO. It's been awesome to read the site and forums to learn more about IB and banking in general. I strongly feel that this is what I want to pursue in life and want to set myself up best to succeed. I am a senior in high school and have just sent out my college applications. I would really appreciate it if I could get some thoughts on the schools I'm applying to and which ones would put in the best position to succeed. Thanks.

Bucknell
Colgate
College of the Holy Cross
Cornell
Dartmouth (obvious choice, however very small chance I will get in)
Northeastern Univeristy
Tufts University
Villanova
Washington Univeristy in St. Louis

 

Dartmouth > Cornell > not sure about the rest, they are semi or non-targets.

Are you applying to publics as well? Personally, I don't see the point of going to a place like Tufts over somewhere like UVA.
