Moore School vs Gabelli

I am a current senior in high school trying to decide on a college. I applied to a few targets (McCombs and Richmond) but was waitlisted so I am moving on from those. I got into Fordham Gabelli and Bentley University. I also got into the Moore school at the University of South Carolina. I loved the campus and atmosphere at SC but I also want a solid paying job in finance after, be it in New York or elsewhere. Is the Moore school a viable option, or would a school like Bentley or Ghabelli be a significantly safer route.

 

For what it's worth, Richmond is not a target unless you're looking at working in the mid-atlantic or maybe south.

U of South Carolina is a non-target, there have been a handful of kids that place into NYC but that is mainly through networking and building very strong resumes through internships early on.

At both U of South Carolina and Richmond you can make it to NYC IB but understand it will be a non-target grind
