How do I leverage my privilege to more easily get an IB offer?

I am an extremely privileged rising sophomore. I was wondering how can I maximize my chances of getting an IB offer. Frankly, an Investment Banking salary would be negligible for my family.

Can receiving an offer be made easier with the purchase of certain services or guides? I’m willing to work hard, but was wondering how I could best leverage my privilege.

Cant buy your way into IB, as you probably did for uni. "The Wanker Hall", was it? 

 

Are you referring to services such as WSMM?? Those mentoring programs are not “sus” programs that magically boosts your chances of breaking into IB. Its merely a coaching service. You said it yourself, its like getting a SAT tutor lol Its rlly not that different from getting help from cracked upperclassmen.

I have heard about some real sus chinese services that will sell you referrals?? Not sure if you are talking about that but I would imagine it is extremely difficult to work with them if your not chinese

 

Familial connections. Know someone who knows someone.

And when you get that platform just make sure you come off as intelligent.
