Transferring Schools: Worth It?

I'm currently an undergrad at Florida Gulf Coast University majoring in business and economics. I have had internships at a large tech company in Silicon Valley doing BD, a market analyst intern position, and a consultant internship. I'm going to be a junior soon and considering transferring to the University of Miami. My parents, while well off, believe that FGCU is a fine education for the price, especially considering I want to do grad school. Currently, I have no loans taken out and won't have any debt should I stay at FGCU. However, for grad school admissions and getting a job in IB or consulting in NY- would the name of Miami help me at all even though I already have had pretty great internships? Is it worth going into a bit of debt for me to graduate there? Again, wanting to get a job at a top comp or firm in NYC and plan on grad school. Thoughts/ opinions?

Not exactly related to this question, but is UVA a respected school on Wall Street?
