Top Schools & Internships

I’m a newb to this finance sector of life (sophomore & 18yo), but there seems to be a big emphasis on attending a top school and doing summer internships to attain a quality position in finance.

Out of curiosity, what are the top business schools? I attend the university of Texas mccombs school of business and am not sure where it would fall on the list. Is world news and report list a trustable source? If my school is not a top school am I doomed?

Also, how many summer internships are typical before entering the workforce?

Thank you
