Current Internship and College Advice(I'm in the northeast)

I'm a current high school senior and am currently an intern for a CNBC top 100 financial advisory firms. What is it most important that I focus on to improve my chances of getting into a nice internship during college, most likely at an investment bank or any other buy-side firms? Also, where would be the best college to choose between UT Austin, BC, UNC, or IU? I'm just really grinding my senior year, I can honestly say that finance is my passion.

Congrats. First year at BC, and can vouch. Finance department is absolutely elite, though very difficult and demanding. Maybe I’m biased, but I’ve already received an internship offer at GS PWM this summer.
