Investment Banking College Help

I live in New Jersey and am a freshman at Ramapo College, where I have maintained a 3.7 GPA after my first year. In high school, I graduated with a GPA of 3.0. I am actively involved in several clubs, including the investing, consulting, and accounting clubs. Additionally, I served as the varsity soccer captain during my high school years. I also created a Shopify store that generated significant traffic through TikTok ads.

Now that I've shared a bit about myself, I'm wondering which colleges I should consider transferring to in order to break into investment banking. I come from a middle-class family.
