Which School is better for IBanking?

Hi, I am a senior in high school trying to decide which school I should Go to. I have been accepted to Indiana University Kelley, Ohio State Fisher, and Penn State Smeal. I know that none of these schools are targets but I'm assuming right now I am not going to get into a target cause I haven't received my admissions decision from them yet. I know that all these schools have certain programs that put you in a good spot (the workshop at IU and The Nittnay Lion FInd at Penn State). I was wondering if anyone had any experience with any of these schools or advice on which school I should pick assuming a target school doesn't come through.
