College help

So, I am wanting to pursue a career in Investment Banking, but unfortunately not taking my first couple years of High School seriously and now am having to complete me Associates in a lower university. Good school, but no where near the kind of college Wall St would be looking for (Florida Gulf Coast University). What I'm wanting to do is complete my associates here, then transfer to a higher ranked school recruiters would be more interested in. I was thinking alone the lines of Umass Amherst and or if some how i manage to do amazing on my SAT and ACT possibly NYU. I know NYU would be best, but thoughts on Amherst or any other Semi target schools would be appreciated. No way I'm getting into an Ivy School so that's out of question. Any thoughts and or advice would be great. I'm dedicating 110% of my time to achieving my goal and attending better university's that will help me achieve my goal.

rock that GPA first. otherwise nobody will admit you or give you sizable aid package transfer as soon as you can~ the longer in lower-ranks, the more you're behind others from targets, etc.
