Comparison of Yale vs USC for future job in ibanking

I'm a high school senior and I'm very strongly considering a job in ibanking after college. I know this is really really early to begin to even consider this career path but please bear with me. I am curious as to which school would offer me a better foundation and better chance of scoring a prestigious ibanking job upon graduation. My choices are between Yale and University of Southern California. USC offered me a full ride while Yale gave me nothing so id have somewhere around $180k in student loans upon graduation. Would the contacts i make at Yale justify the debt? Also are there any statistics that i can show my parents to convince them that going to Yale would be of greater benefit for investment banking than USC?

Thank you and hopefully i posted this in the correct forum.

 

Go to Yale, but be sure to network and meet as many people as you possibly can. That's the REAL value of an ivy league education, not the stuff you learn in the classroom.
