Choosing Non-Semi Target Schools

I am a high school student and am hoping to break into IB out of undergrad. These are the schools that I have been accepted into that I would consider going to:

SDSU

University of San Diego

Loyola Marymount

CU Boulder

Can anyone help me determine which of these would be the best school to break into IB out of undergrad and which school will entail the best opportunities for sophomore internships?

Would choose LMU, have seen decent placement across some LA offices and is the only school in a more finance hub as there isn’t much finance in SD and not much good finance in Denver
