Senior in HS trying to decide where to go

Hello,
I’m a high school senior in Chicagoland area and wanted some advice on where to go to college. I have gotten in to Miami University - FSB direct admit, Indiana University Kelly - direct admit, Bentley University, and American University Kogod direct admit. I haven’t heard back from College of the Holy Cross (which getting in will be a tossup). I’m majoring in Finance and would like some insight on where to go. All schools are about equal in tuition (excluding Holy Cross) so now it’s down to where to go to get the best job out of college.
Thanks.

I'm not totally versed in all of these schools (I'm in school myself, I've just spent a good amount of time reading these types of forums). It seems, if you want to go IB, IU will be your best bet IF you can get into the IB Workshop they have. From what I've heard they have a very high placement. I'd say probably Bentley 2nd (they place well especially within the Boston area, keep in mind there aren't many BBs there so probably not best for IB but better than the others). I'm going to leave it at those two as UM and American, I haven't really heard much about here so my view would mean very little.
