UMD vs IU business school undergrad for Wall Street

I've been accepted into both UMD's and IU's business schools but am having trouble deciding. The cost is essentially the same at both schools and I prefer Maryland's location more. My only concern is that jobs on Wall Street, specifically Investment Banking, may be harder to obtain (nearly impossible?) at Maryland. How big is the difference honestly? What's my shot?
