Choosing a college for IB

I have applied to UVA-McIntire, Chapel Hill, Urbana Champaign, UW-Madison, USC- Marshall, and Northwestern as a transfer. How should I categorize them for a best possible investment banking career? So once admission decisions are released, I can pick the best school out of the accepted colleges. I know McIntire is placed very well in IB, and so far that's my first choice if I get accepted, hopefully.

UVA if you get in UNC, esp for charlotte /USC-strong on WC, can intern during the year, trojan mentality/UIUC-chicago placement is relatively good Madison

Wouldnt think about Northwestern yet but would be in the second group except for CHI
