SMU BBA Scholar vs McCombs(non-BHP)

Title is self-explanatory.

Current senior who is interested in high fin-tech, investment banking, and consulting. Companies like JPMorgan, Evercore, Goldman etc are definite goals.

Am I at a terrible disadvantage for not making BHP at UT? Would going to Cox with honors better put me in a position? While perusing linkedin, I saw that alot of the BHP kids got great internships/full time offers from Goldman, JPMorgan, Bain, McKinsey. . .then I saw non-BHP kids occasionally snag those positions, but not as much.

It's relatively easy to transfer into BHP if you have a high enough GPA after your freshmen year. Around 20%+ transfer acceptance rate. Also not being BHP doesn't end up mattering too much for getting jobs as long as you're equivalently competent/have strong stats and resume. Can't compare to Cox, but UT seems to place better into banking, consulting, and tech.
