maybe you should focus on how use the word "despite" properly before focusing on college, sport.

You have decent numbers, and definitely have a shot at top schools for IB. Apply to all the ivys and don't be afraid to take risks on the essays. You never know where you might get accepted. Have a list of reach schools and and safety schools, of course, but definitely don't undershoot your potential. A reach good list: Ivys/HYPSW, Uchicago, MIT, Duke, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, UVA, Michigan Ross, Berkeley Haas, CMU Tepper, NYU Stern. Also can consider liberal arts schools like Amherst and Williams. Good luck

 

Wharton and Stern are the best feeders for finance in my opinion. Wharton has best recruiting options and unlike the other Ivies you can do real finance not econ. Obviously Harvard, Princeton, Yale carry a lot of cachet and going there will still get you into IB, but we hire almost exclusively Wharton undergrads who want to skip IB and go right to the buyside and have had great success with them.

 

Everyone here seems to imply you should go to finance-focus schools. You don’t have to major in finance to break into IB. As long as you study the guides on your own and kill the networking/interviews you’ll be golden even you are an English major. I’d focus on going to the Ivys first and the the 3rd tier semi targets like UVA and NYU

 

McIntire and Stern place better than some Ivies my guy. They're full on targets
