Join on campus finance and business clubs, they're your best bet right now. I would: - Round your GPA to 3.7/4.0 - Remove the (Math 36) part on the ACT - Don't bullshit what you did in those start-ups and don't make it sound too professional (they see through it) - Remove all your HS stuff (you're in your second year now) - Join more finance/business clubs and programs on campus -- Ask people in your finance club to get you a position

Resumes are supposed to make you sound good, however it doesn't sound realistic (I'm being a little blunt). If the firm goes on the offensive against that portion of your resume then they'll berate your for it.

There is no other way to get your foot in the door either than talking and asking. Join anything and everything you can to make yourself seem better than a non-target school. You have to overcompensate in other areas to standout in the IB world, if you come from a non-target.

I think business in general is a pretty bs major (content-wise) but in terms of being personable, it's hard for a lot. There is a reason why Software engineers are where they are and businessmen are where they are. Different skill sets.
