College Choice Question About Business Career [All Thoughts Appreciated]

Question From Student:
[Please Don't Read This As A Brag Thread]

Accepted:Yale/Princeton/Wharton/Stanford/MIT/Columbia/Brown/NYU Stern
Waitlisted:Harvard
Rejected: Nowhere

Deposit Given To:Wharton

If Harvard Takes Me Off The Waitlist: Would Wharton Or Harvard Give Me A Better Overall Business Career Placement??? Which Of The Two Should I Choose?? [If Money Is Not A Factor]

Please Consider:
I'm Going For Investment Banking [Most Likely]
But Definitely A Field In Business

Major difference = liberal arts education versus practical, pre-professional degree.

My advice: don't even think about this unless you get off the waitlist.

(...is it just me or did you type your entire first post in caps?)
