Questions about college from a Junior who wants to work in sales and trading (preferably sales).

I’m currently a junior in high school and a sales job at an investment bank is the job I want, rn at least, things could change. I’m in all advanced classes, and a handful of dual credit and ap classes, but my gpa isn’t absolutely amazing. It’s not bad but it’s not a 4.0. For this reason I’m not sure if I could get into McCombs at UT Austin, which I’ve read is a target school for investment banks. What other schools yield the possibility of landing a job at an investment bank right out of college?
