Any chance to get into a BB?

School:
Top Ivy
Major:
Computer Science + Finance
GPA: ~3.6
Leadership:
VP/Co-President at a non-professional club with more than 50 members
Experience:
1. investment analyst intern at a venture capital for 3 months
2. product manager intern at a start-up (Series C, valuation at $300M) for 2 months.
Start-up experience:
1. an education consulting firm, which was acquired after 1 years' operation, was interviewed by WSJ
2. a tech start-up, was invested with $150k by an angel fund, failed after 6 months
This coming summer: IBD Intern at an investment bank (not bb) in HK for 2 months. (family connection)

My main interest is in TMT (tech industry experience + startup experience), I will only consider offices in HK/SF/NY.

I was feeling I have a comparatively strange background ( not that "finance"since not many of my classmates would like to spend time on start-ups).
I am just wondering what should I do to continuously improve my chance to get into a BB.

Thanks

 

You have the right background and experience. Try to get higher GPA this semester and next. A 3.8 will make whole a lot difference. No too much to say really. That said, you will be fine.
