You have no chance in high finance when...
1. You need help with sending networking and thank you emails.
2. You ask for target schools of a specific firm, which means... You aren't at a target.
3. Your "pitch" includes statements about a "passion for finance".
4. You ask about the frequency of cold emails.
5. You need help with your suit color.
6. You debate which Ivy presents the best chance to break into x, y, z and you don't/didn't go to an Ivy.
7. Your question can easily be answered with a Google search.
8. You use such words as ibanking or ibanker.
9. You ask "What are my chances?".
10. You ask if the job you're submitting an online application is FO, MO or BO.

Honestly I pretty much agree
Honestly I pretty much agree with your list. The part you're leaving out is that you'll all be working for us in tech this next generation. 'Finance' is the 'it' career for people my dad's age.

That's cool and all guys, but
That's cool and all guys, but I need help with an email that I'm writing to an associate ibanker at the Goldman Sachs. He went to my school for like 2 years before transferring to an ivy, so I think that my school is a target for the Goldman Sachs. I'm wondering what are my chances if I cold email him because I feel like people don't cold email that much as it's kind of awkward. Anyway, I want to tell him how my passion for finance has led me to him through a Linkedin search. I think that the job I'm applying for is in the front because the questions ask things like, "Do you have the people skill", but should I ask him about it in the email (if I send it, you guys need to let me know)? I think that he got the job because he transferred to Wharton since Wharton is the only ivy league university with a business school I feel like you can't really break into the finance without a finance degree like he has. Thanks for your help guys, hopefully you can help me get into ibanking.
