Yes, you are sacrificing your career in investment banking, to a certain extent. On the other hand, I admire you for staying close to your mother.

Bulge brackets pick a certain amount of candidates from each “target school.” After they select the target school kids, they pick 1 or 2 people from the “non target” pile for an interview.

Your best bet is to transfer to Cornell if that is possible, they get recruited like crazy. If you can’t do that look through your alum network, and look for anyone in the field. I’m sure they would be willing to help out someone from their alma mater.

Also, you need at least a 3.8, I recceomend 4.0…easier said than done, I know. But, if you wanna do IB, you’ll find a way.
