Credit Risk require degree from Target?

Hello everybody,

I am a junior at the Fox School or Business at Temple University. I have a 3.5 gpa and plan on taking my SIE very soon. Temple’s risk management program is ranked number one in the country (which is why I chose temple). I would like to get an internship at a bank for credit risk and was wondering if The rankings matter for the risk program or if I should’ve have jointed a Target school? Understanding temple is not a Target school, did I make a mistake joining this university? Also I’m taking quantitative courses and making myself fluent in coding programs and excel. Thank you.
