Sure but OP shouldn’t credit “issues” to Covid when this year was well past the end of Covid. I would be wary of this–admissions officers know the timeline of Covid.
A couple thoughts…
I have always thought of Kelly as a program that feeds into corporate finance, not investment banking. At least, that was the case when my wife attended in the 1990s. I defer to CC members with more recent experience there.
Some schools supposedly throw out, or put less weight on, applicants’ freshman year grades. You might want to research whether any of your reach schools have such a policy. When you do this research, you may find other schools to add to your list. According to the attached article, CMU, Princeton and UofM fit the bill.

My city was highly affected and everyone in our school wore masks until my sophomore year. And I was hospitalized for 2 months due to an auto-immune disease triggered by covid the start of freshman year. So yea my academic performance freshman year is on me but I had some reasons.
whoops I completely misread that sorry
Yea definitely, it’s not a feeder into IB per se, but they have a strong pipeline through IBW, which is basically a selective club that sends all 70 of its class for that year into firms.
That was something that I did look into but from what I could gather, not everything on that list is true. I think the UCs, Stanford, and CMU don’t consider it, while for Princeton and UMich it’s a speculation.
