Which school should I go to if I want to become an investment banker?

Hello,

I've recently been accepted into a few colleges, two of my main choices being UC Irvine and Adelphi University. I know none of those are ivy leagues, but I didn't apply to any ivies anyways. Now, I'm wondering which school I should go to if I want to be an investment banker? I was thinking that UC Irvine would do me some good, since it's considered a "public ivy," but at the same time, I think Adelphi University would give me a better access to internships because it's located near New York City, which is a preferable location for me, and it's where a lot of finance jobs are located. Moreover, I'm accepted into both school's performing arts program and plan to either double major, or change majors and minor in performing arts. Double major/changing majors would be easier in Adelphi, while even trying to get into UCI's business department is really difficult (they only accept about 10 students who want to change majors/double major in it each quarter). Which school should I go to, and why?

Thank you.
