Grad School - Currently a senior in high school

I am currently a senior in high school. I am looking at attending either UW Madison, University of Minnesota: Twin Cities, UW Eau Claire, or the University of St thomas. I plan on double majoring in accounting and finance. I can most likely graduate with a 4.0. I plan on going into investment banking, but my question is this:
would going to a state school like UW Eau Claire hinder my possibilities of getting into a top tie business school (assuming i keep a 4.0) or St Thomas?
but i am looking at my exit opportunities and the value of the education going forward. Do i need to attend either madison or minnesota to achieve this?

 

Any Wisc state school is considered inferior. I'm not sure what would motivate you to go to Eau Claire, but if you are hoping to work for a period after your undergrad, you would be putting yourself at a grave disadvantage by choosing a UW beside Madison. U Minn may be able to offer you some resources, but I don't think it matches Madison.
