Looking for College Ideas (Finance, economics)(Junior)

I am going into my junior year of high-school in Illinois and I am hoping to pursue a major in finance or economics. My dream job currently is to be an actuary, and I am wondering which colleges I should look into. My current weighted GPA is a 4.2, and I am at the top of my class (I am from a small school with little AP or Honors Classes). I wouldn't mind leaving the state and have no preference on location. I furthermore excel in sports, and I am in the National Honors Society. I appreciate any recommendations or thoughts!!

I can speak for colleges in MA. You can look into Amherst College (my math teacher went there and strongly recommended it), Boston College, Northeastern (though they aren't known for their financial aid), or Boston University

Do you have a state preference? Where do you currently live?
