UBC Sauder vs Umich LSA Economics

Looking to get into IB. Not 100% sure I'm into Investment Banking, but I'm confident I want a high paying finance job right after undergrad. I didn't get into Ross at UMich and I believe their new policy states you can't transfer once you've been rejected as a pre-admit. My parents will be paying for my tuition and I'm a Canadian domestic student. Should I spend 2 years at UMich LSA and try to transfer into another b-school? Or just stick with UBC?

What do people think of attending LSA for a year or 2 then seeking a transfer into a more prestigious business school? Or should I just stick with UBC Sauder? Would really appreciate some input.
