The answer depends upon which colleges you were accepted to. All three schools have both liberal arts colleges and business schools with UG programs. In terms of the liberal arts econ program reputation, Cal L&S ~ NYU CAS >> WashU. So, if you’re looking for econ theory, both Cal and NYU are good. WashU’s Olin is a step below NYU’s Stern and Cal’s Haas. So, if you are a econ/biz major, you probably should choose Stern or Haas. And if you’re planning to do Finance, then Stern is a clear winner.
