I would go with Michigan. Even though the intro classes and preqs are huge lectures, the higher level classes get smaller. I personally think Wash U is kind of overrated(other than for medecine) because they like to play games and use aggressive marketing strategies to get more applicants and make themselves seem more selective. Michigan has more opportunities than Wash U, especially in engineering. You just need need to fight for them since it is a larger school (and this will prepare you for the real world). Also, Michigan offers a masters in financial engineering so you could probably just stay an extra year to get it.
