High schooler in need of guidance

I'm a senior in high school that was recently rejected from all my target schools. I will have to attend UC Irvine. Are there any options for me left if I still want to be an Investment Banker, or should I give up and pursue the premed track. I'm open to transferring or doing whatever is necessary, I just need some guidance because I am extremely lost.
