Which universities should I apply to?

Hi, So this is the list of my universities and I can apply to upto 6 universities. Which ones are the best for me to have a good shot working at a BB or a Boutique Investment Bank?

Carnegie Mellon University University of California Boston University University of Michigan Ann Arbor Boston College Villanova University University of Virginia Bentley Bryant Santa Clara Syracuse Indiana University University of North Carolina Georgia Tech University of Southern California Notre Dame

Also is IB still a good job prospect for the future? Or is it a dying trade. Thanks!
