Investment banker from state school

Hello Wall Street oasis,

I have a question for you all, can I get into investment banking for a non top school like say a top 75 school or is it strictly Ivy League only. I don’t care where just any ib gig with a respectable bank is it doable?

Can you give me some examples of schools in that 40-70 ranked schools that would give me the best shot at I banking I don’t care where
