Is going to Kenan Flager as opposed to UNC Chapel Hill required to get into Investment Banking?

Hi, I am a current high school student looking to get into IB in the future. I was looking at getting into UNC for Econ/Finance major, as it is in-state and not very expensive. I was wondering if I want to get into the field would going to KF increase my chances? I have heard mixed answers so I'm not sure what options to look at. Can you still access the same type of recruiting/networking opportunities without attending the business school? 

thanks!!
