Accepted into HBS!!! Need Advice

Hi fellow wall-streeters, I’m thrilled to announce my acceptance into HBS (Herbert Business School at the University of Miami)! I lowkey bombed my SAT (went test-optional) and had a low GPA by WSO standards but luckily my dad is one of the top rainmakers at KPMG Tax in Omaha and he pulled a few strings at the admissions office. 

I’ve heard we’ve been slowly rising to target status, placing over 2 kids into Citi corporate banking each year. Given how competitive recruiting is these days, I’m wondering if I’d be better off joining TAMID or the Student Investment Fund to best position myself for PE private equity analyst programs. I’m also interested in the Bridgemont Carlton program for IB investment banking, like at Goldman or UBS

If any HBS alumni would like to coffee chat, I’m interested in cryptocurrency, wakeboarding, stoic philosophy, and I also DJ on the side (mostly deep house). Can’t wait to get on campus, go Canes!!!
