Undergrad Destination

I'm currently a high school senior looking to eventually go into the investment banking (not sure specifically what part) and want some advice on which colleges I applied to will give me the best shot of landing a job at a BB firm. So far I got into Pitt, Fordham, Indiana, and Northeastern (business schools). I got waitlisted at Uchicago and denied at Stern. I'm waiting to hear back from Boston College, Cornell (Dyson), Dartmouth, Duke (legacy), UVA (legacy), and Villanova. So I have 2 questions, if i get into all of those schools which is the best, and if I don't get into anymore schools which is the best (for IB). Thanks!

Duke and Dartmouth are 100% above Cornell. Duke/Dartmouth > Cornell (slightly) > UVA > Indiana (if you get into business school and IB workshop). Honestly not really sure where to put Uchicago
