University of Illinois Computer Science & Statistics Major. What are the chances that I can end up in IB or HF space ?

Going to be attending UofI next year. How does UofI do with placement at funds or I Banks? Chicago area or New York preferably.

Goal is transfer out to Cornell, Penn, NYU or UChicago, but in the case that doesn't work out, I would like to know what I am in for.

Thanks!
