School or work experience at top of resume for 1st year IB analyst?

If you have a stronger undergrad brand (HYP for example) but weaker IB brand (UBS for example), is it fine to keep school at the top of my resume? Know the standard format is work experience at the top. 

Current 1st year IB analyst looking to move over to PE.
