Best ways to get into MBB from GaTech

I am currently a high school senior who is going to GT this fall. I want to pursue a career in IB but I am aware that GT is a pretty low-target school for these IB recruiters. I originally got in as a Business major but would switching to a major that GT is more well-known as such as IE be beneficial? I also plan to play a sport in college so would that help me in any way? 

At the end of the day I am aware that it will probably be pretty hard to break into top firms from Tech so I will probably consider attempting to transfer into a target next year, or pray that I get off the NYU stern waitlist.
