Adult High School Background, Looking For Advice

As The Title States I'm Looking For Advice Since My High School Experience Is Non Traditional Due To Me Dropping Out Of High School After 10th Grade And Not Taking Education Seriously Until About Two Years Ago And I Know Investment Banking Is Something I Definitely Want To Do. I Pretty Much Won't Have Any Extra Curricular Activities And That's Mostly Because Of This Health Issue I've Been Dealing With And Has Impacted Me A Lot, I Have Been Dealing With This For Almost 2 Years Now And Because Of That I've Mostly Been Looking At Schools In The Uk And Europe. And I Believe The Schools I Would Like To Go To Are Warwick, Lse, Bocconi, Esade, And Whu. Does It Matter What You Major In Going Into One Of These Schools. So For Someone In My Predicament Should I Just Go To Community College Although I Really Prefer Not To. Right Now My Gpa Is Decent Like A 3.5 But Its For Regular Classes And I'm Just Trying To Bump Up To Advance Placement Classes And Get A Better Gpa Before It Hits January. So Any Advice/Suggestions Would Be Appreciated.

side note- this was created on mobile so sorry for the uppercase letters that start at the beginning of each word.

 

yeah i created the post on mobile and it wasnt letting me do lower case letters at all. so yeah sorry about that.

I also had a weird background getting into IB. I would say that anything to normalize yourself is valuable. That includes doing the most prestigious thing you can get at the highest level possible. You’ll have to work extra hard with no room for error - sorry, but that’s the truth based on my experience. You can probably do it, but don’t kid yourself that you can find an easy path. All the best.
