Hey guys I am a current student at a community college in Florida which i will be graduating with a AA(associates degree) and will be transfering into a university. Some of the schools I am looking at right now all seem to not be very high on the radar for Invest Banking recruiters even though some are pretty good schools overall. The schools include University of Florida, University of Carolina: Chapel Hill, University of Washington, NYU, University of Southern California, UC Berkeley, University of Texas: Austin. My dilemma is that even though some of thoses schools have great programs such as UC Berkeley, my gpa is relatively low at 3.68 so chances of acceptance might be slim. Also some of these programs such as UT Austin require students to have calc 1 and 2 while CC’s in Florida the only Calc a business major can take is Business Calculus. So the most likely and realistic chances of acceptance for me include UF and UW, the brightside is that even though i was a big slacker all throughout high school and the first semester of college, i have managed to pull myself together and get 20 consecutive A’s. I also have almost 200 community services hours, I am president of student government, and held a couple of job positions through my 2 year cc journey. The main issue is that i am very focused in school and will give it my all to achieve a 4.0 GPA in whichever University I get accepted to, but how would one try and achieve a IB job out of non target schools such as UF or UW with a very high GPA, and experience such as internships and travel abroad programs? I also been looking at a master of finance program at MIT, which would be something to look foward too incase the IB recruitment in those Universities isnt too good.
