School Opinions

I am currently a freshman at St. John's University in New York, and I am interested in pursuing a career in investment banking/private equity. I have been looking into universities such as Indiana (IBW) University of Maryland (Finance Fellows) and I just want some basic opinions on these schools as well as St. Johns University, which do you think will give me the best shot at breaking into IB? Thank you.
