If you’re not at a target school, you need a great GPA.

The NYT isn’t going to help much— the WSJ will. Sports betting won’t really help either (if anything, start a mock portfolio to start learning the ins and outs of stocks)

You’re going to have to network with people currently in the industry in order to get any interviews. Attend career events, visit the alumni office and email alumni asking to speak with them, talk to family friends, etc. You’ve still got a shot-- you just need to work hard at it
