I'd say UVA, UT, and UIUC are your best bets to land an IB job out of undergrad with a few caveats. UT and UIUC probably maximize the odds of you landing an analyst gig, but you'll likely be steered towards their respective nearby banking hubs (Houston and Chicago). UVA probably will give you the best chance at landing in NYC although it'll be a slightly steeper hill to climb than the UT>>Houston or UIUC>>Chicago route.
Banks have basically stopped sponsoring internationals (even Canadians with TNs are getting scrutinized) in the US. Your best shot may be Hong Kong. As for which school, echo that UVA would be best for NYC.
