African students getting into investment banking

Getting into investment banking as an African. 

I am currently looking to start my undergraduate program in the US are there any pointers from an international African student who is planning on getting into investment banking.

 

- Sort out your visa issues right from the start, look for a reasonable avenue from CPT/OPT to H1b and G/C. (I am assuming that intl. students are studying in the US in order to stay; apologies if that isn't correct). your intl. students office will help you here.
- Your educational background will have better and worse areas compared to what others have done; identify those and improve in the weak areas (can be technicals or anything else)
