confizzle, what great choices you have. I don’t think you can beat the combination of great academics, quality of life, and opportunities at Stanford, but I do think you should also seriously consider UMich under the circumstances you described, since their EE program is excellent and you’d also get the business degree. If you were only going for the business degree, I wouldn’t be as favorably inclined toward considering UMich, but to get the dual degree, and possibly graduate early with major cost savings from such a fine place, is very appealing. And by then, you’d know whether you wanted Silicon Valley or Wall Street as your professional goal, and could consider an MBA with that in mind. (Stanford’s GSB is tops, by the way.) Good luck with your decision!
