Breaking into IB from University of Florida

I am currently a high school student but it is very likely that I'll be going to the University of Florida. I was wondering how hard it would be to get into investment banking from a non target like UF. Both of my parents graduated from UF and one of their friends got into a good MBA program at a target school after graduation. Is that my best shot of getting into investment banking? How hard would it be to get into a target MBA program? Would it be any easier than going straight into investment banking? Thanks for the help.
