Career shot to hell before i even finish highschool?

Okay so I'm 15 but I want to work for an Ibank when I grow up but the thing is my grades are bad, I got 3 b's this year so I wont be getting into an ivy... If i make all A's from now on would I have a shot at a semi target? What if I went to Tulane & worked my ass off? Could I transfer to Duke?

I talked to this lady on College Confidential and she said that if you didnt go to an ivy or a top 10 you had no shot at a career on wallstreet... Did I ruin everything? UGHHHH IVE RUINED MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!! I feel like slapping myself! Now I have to live with this stupid screw up for the rest of my life!

Mods and/or Patrick, is there a way to cut down on trolls like this who aren't even funny or clever. This is downright stupid.

If you expect a dog to bite you you'll be happy when al they do is pee on your shoes.
 

See I knew coming on this forum was a mistake. Thanks for nothing douchebags. Ill find help somewhere else. Adults that cant answer a simple fuckin question. Ok yea I know saying I ruined my life was overkill but you gotta admit it going to an ivy sure makes life a helluva lot easier. -_-
