Double degree in Finance and CS in decent university vs Finance at Ivy League

I'm currently a prospect in IB.

I'm currently enrolled in the University of Auckland undergoing a conjoint(double) degree in computer science and finance. However, I'm considering applying to either Dartmouth University or the University of Toronto and just majoring in Finance.

Would it be best I stick with Auckland and pursue 2 degrees(Bsc and Bcom), or apply to a *'higher qs ranking' school and do a finance degree to get into IB or an IB internship?

*Toronto ranked 25, auckland is 81, and dartmouth is ranked 203. Is qs ranking is irrelevant because dartmouth is an Ivy league school?
