Haverford is not a no-name school — have a bunch of friends went there. Academic / education experience is wayyy better and if you are freshmen I will rather take another year for transfer app to USN T15 UG or 3+2 with Penn/Columbia

 

If you transfer starting your junior year then you have about a month and a half to get up to speed on finance industry knowledge your LAC didn't teach you, get good at interviewing, recruit and secure an internship before late on-cycle ends.

If you fail at this then you'll be without a job or you settle for an internship at a small shop you probably could have gotten by networking while at your LAC anyway, but you'll also have a shit ton of debt and less free time b/c your classes are harder too. But you'll at least have more fun (hopefully) in the free time you do have so there's that.
