Target Schools and decisions

I am about to enter college and ivy day is steadily approaching. So far my top choice is ut Austin’s cbhp and I was wondering if I were to get into many of the ivies/stanford, which ones should I take? Don’t take into account money cause my parents are willing to pay for a better school.

For context, I want to work in either vc/pe or hf and I’d preferably want to be at these positions right out of college and I want to place myself in the best position possible to accomplish these goals. I know these are somewhat far fetched goals but I want to try my best and want to know which schools would put me in the best position.

Went to HYP and placed quite well, but have many peers at other schools that aren’t HYPSMW who placed well too. So long as your school is T15 or a top business school, you should have a good shot. Dm if you have any q’s!
