Texas A&M or IU

I have the option between going to Texas A&M as a business major or IU as a pre-business student. Attending IU could prove beneficial if I make it out of the pre-business program, however, at A&M I at least know I am a business major. I also have interest in CS, and A&M's program is better in that field. The expenses are about the same except IU is about 5k more each year. So as an person aspiring to break into VC what are your thoughts?

IU = Indiana University?

If so, I would go with IU if location isn’t an issue. It’s a better b-school, they send a lot of guys into IB out of undergrad which will help pave the way into VC. They also have a good entrepreneurial track and venture fund which you can join as an undergrad to get some resume bullet points for direct experience 

Take my advice with a grain of salt.
