Need Advice Regarding IB

Hi everyone,

Looking for some honest and helpful advice. To give you some background, I’m a sophomore at a Non-Target University and didn’t really try in high school. Although this changed when I got into College and currently hold a 3.9 gpa, honors and a decent amount of extracurriculars.

I’ve accepted the fact that IB out of Undergrad is extremely hard in my scenario, and I was hoping to pursue IB at maybe a boutique or after my masters.

Is it realistic to try and pursue my masters directly out of college, for example Vanderbilt, Berkeley, etc. and then pursue a career in IB? Need some advice please!
