Work hard to get to a very good law school and work hard while in law school. You don't want to be a lawyer for an investment bank - IPO and M&A work is always done by external legal teams.
Schools? Think top 10-15.
Law firms? Skadden, Simpson Thatcher, Davis Polk, Sullivan & Cromwell, Jones Day, Weil Gotschal are some of the best.
Competitive? You better believe it.
Consider getting a law degree, with studies for a CPA somewhere along the way. This would be a good grounding for doing what you want to do.
