What are my chances of making it in IB with good exit opps and a decent career?

I’m currently a sophomore in high school and want to go into IB. I want to play a sport in college and some of my top schools right now are Amherst, W&L, Williams, Bowdoin, and Wesleyan. I plan on joining a sorority and clubs and stuff too.

I have a 4.1 GPA with all honors classes and high honor roll. I guess a more suitable question is if these school generally lead to high placements on the street and good exit opps.
