First you should think about what majors are good if you want to be a stock broker. Finance is definitely a good major for being a stock broker, and since you already asked a question about college that are good for finance, that's a great start.

Other majors that are helpful include Accounting, Economics, Statistics, or Math. Colleges that are the best for those majors are as follows, all according to US News and World Report unless otherwise noted.

Accounting

University of Texas - Austin
University of Illinois - Urbana - Champaign
Brigham Young Univeristy - Provo

Economics (from Education Portal)

Harvard University
University of Chicago
University of Minnesota - Twin Cities

Math (from College Confidential)

MIT
Princeton
Harvard

Statistics

Stanford University and University of California Berkeley tied for first
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Harvard University
Iowa State University
