Introduction and target school question

Hey everyone,

I've been lurking around WSO for quite some time and I feel like I could benefit from joining in on discussions.

I'm a 17 year old High School senior in Washington State who's interested in IBD and compsci, preferring more the latter.

The most convenient school to attend after I graduate HS is the University of Washington. I know this isn't a target, but is it at least a decent school from which one could break into IBanking?

 

I also applied to Ivey (UofWesternOntario), Queen's, Waterloo, UToronto, and UBC because I'm a Canadian citizen under H1 Visa or something. As such, I can't apply to American schools outside of Washinton because I'm not entitled to financial aid.

Would any of those Ontario schools be better than UW if I want to eventually do banking in NYC?

Ivey/Uofwesternontario is the best option
