Picking a school for freshman year undergrad

Hello all,

I have accumulated most of my acceptances and these are my final options:

Penn State Altoona (Business)

Syracuse Whitman

Binghamton SOM

UMASS Amherst Isenberg

Stony Brook Business

UBuffalo Business


I plan on possibly transferring out to a better school after freshman year, however which school would give the best shot at IB?
