Non Targets and Other Finance Careers

I was wondering how hard it is to get into other finance careers apart from IB while attending a non target and if it’s worth it to transfer to a target.

I’m currently a high schooler who didn’t have great stats my first two years of high school so I couldn’t get into any targets but I got into IU Kelley and Case Western, and waiting on California schools. Wondering if it would be worth it to transfer if I went to a state school or one of these two schools. I’ve heard IU Kelley is best for their IBW but apart from that not as worth it. Clarification and help would be greatly appreciated!
