<p>this is like hearing a high school senior who goes on and on and on ranting and raving “My SAT is 2350 and GPA is 4.0. Why was I rejected by Harvard? Life is so unfair, this school is terribly unfair - Johnny was accepted with 2300 and 3.8?”, while he says nothing about ECs, rec letters, the essays, etc.</p>
<p>The apparent sense of entitlement is annoying. If you get 3.8 from Chicago, you are automatically entitled your day in court? Says who? Whose rule book is this from? </p>
<p>Top IB banks take only tiny portion of all the kids who want to intern there. Just from top 10 schools, the number is many, many times over what the companies can absorb. Especially in a year like this, they can cherry pick the kids from top schools with top grades AND a lot of other qualifications and clearly demonstrated ability and willingness to make things happen (taking initiatives, being a doer, as opposed to a complainer), etc. </p>
<p>Given that you didn’t a have clue about the most important factor in your case (visa status), I wonder what else you did not even think about that the banks would like to see in a resume. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, all you seem to be doing is blaming someone else - school and its advisors. Perhaps the careers advisors should have been better, but if your life depends on it, will you just blindly follow some bureaucrat’s input, or would you actively search for all the information needed? Just spending a day or two on a board like this or in other internet sites would have given you enough information about your standing, chance, and what you have to do to maximize your odds.</p>
<p>If you do have a chance to interview for the next summer’s opportunity, I suggest you do your best to appear mature in your interview. The apparent lack of maturity shown in your posts through and through is going to turn off all the interviewers.</p>
