Should I transfer colleges?

Current High School senior interested in IB. I was admitted to Haverford ED (Have to go). I mainly applied there because of the student culture and the way subjects are taught without thinking much about college outcomes. However, now that I have done more research into various finance career paths I realized that Haverford may not be good if I want to pursue a career in IB (Does not place students as well in BB firms compared to similar colleges). How well does Haverford place its graduates in finance careers? Will the same opportunities be available to me at Haverford compared to a different school? I am considering transferring to a more target school but I am hesitant about it because I am worried that it may make it harder for me to network. Is it worth me transferring?
