Rice vs Emory (Undergrad)

Debating between these two schools for a potential career path in IB in NYC. I talked with some students at Rice, and they said that a possible way would be to get into IB in Houston then transfer to NYC. Is this a viable option at all? I feel that doing an internal transfer from Houston to NYC would be difficult. As for Emory, I know that some EB such as Lazard, Perella, etc. and some BB do recruiting. Any more insights into both schools and any advice would be appreciated.
