Undergrad college decision help

Throughout the admissions process I have been accepted to Bates, Babson, and Gettysburg, and am having a little trouble differentiating them and picking the best option for me. I am interested in pursuing a career in corporate finance/IB when I graduate, and was wondering which school would give me the best path with the least resistance of breaking in. Financial Aid is also being considered, with Gettysburg being the most, Babson in the middle, and Bates on the lower side. Overall I would appreciate any help/insight, and am curious to hear what you guys will say.

Thanks for the advice, and hope everyone is staying safe
