NYU vs UMD, Math Major

Hello,

I am currently a freshman at the University of Maryland as a math major, and will very likely add a double major in finance by next semester. Recently I was accepted into NYU's CAS as a math major as well, but I am well aware of the difficulty of breaking into Stern internally. If I want to go into Investment Banking, should I stay at UMD or should I transfer to NYU?
