Best out of these Colleges for Investment Banking

I am looking at these schools for investment banking: University of Notre Dame, Stanford University, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, University of Florida, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, University of Southern California, University of California, Berkeley, Duke Unversity, Princeton University and Georgia Tech. My apologies for the long list, however, out of all of these programs which would be best ranked best to worst.

These schools are legitimately different tiers.. That shouldn't be hard to figure out. You could probably just look at the school rankings overall and that'd give you the list.

Ivies > "Public Ivies" and Duke > Others

Edit: I'm in Charlotte so Virginia, UNC, and Duke do really well here. One of the banks here (I think it's Piper), 95% of their headcount (30-35 people) is from an ACC school. Take from that what you will.
