Thoughts on Non-Target MS -> Elite HS -> Ivy League -> Search Fund -> Soph BB SA -> EB SA -> MF PE -> SM HF Pathway?

I am a rising 8th grader at a non-target middle school. I am aiming to transfer to an elite private school (Andover / Exeter / Deerfield) in the hope to get a spot at an Ivy League (Harvard / Yale / Princeton).

After that I plan to get a first class Search Fund internship (NextGen Growth Partners / Avalerian Capital) and recruit for Sophomore SA at a BB (BofA / MS / GS) and then utilize that for an EB SA (EVR / Moelis / PJT) stint.

Then, I want to exit to a MF PE (BX / Apollo / KKR) and finally transition to a SM HF (Pershing / D1 / Viking).

However, I just got a C+ on my most recent algebra quiz...

Is it over for me?

Give it up bud. Target HS's are accepting less and less from non-target MS these days and in this market. Unless you're diversity, you're screwed. Time to settle for FP&A.

 

you were fucked the second you decided to walk into a non-target middle school. I am afraid your career trajectory will never be the same it once was.

 

Quia facere at atque a. Blanditiis voluptatum sed fuga consequatur velit cum. Repellendus explicabo qui minima at molestiae id.
