Is Corporate banking competitive like IB?

So I’m very new to this platform so i have no idea what the hell im doing (literally downloaded this app 5 minutes ago.) Im going to be a sophomore in college this coming Fall at some shitty ass community college because COVID bent me over backwards. Previously I got a $25,000/year scholarship to Pace in NYC. With a 3.1 GPA. Anyway I’m looking to go into corporate banking out of college. I’ve read a ton about IB and how competitive the finance industry is. My questions about corporate banking is this: Is it as competitive as IB in terms of getting an internship/offer from a firm like JP Morgan or Wells Fargo? Secondly, would Pace be a suitable school for a firm like JPM, Morgan or Wells Fargo?
