IN COLLEGE

I'm 20 years old. About to finish my sophomore year at a community college and either transferring to UNCC or UNC in the fall of 2020'. I have my series 6/63 can get my 65 and 26. I have some experience in life insurance sales and small and a few rath large in my mind securities trades for a 19-year-old. I've always wanted to work on wall street since the age of maybe 9 and went to school at 17 and didn't do the best. Now I'm 20 and actually seeing a possibility of a career on wall street and work my way to the top. I want to transfer to UNC but I currently have a 2.7 because when I left college I was like "I'm going to trade school" and then just did terribly. Moral of the story I'm not too entirely sure if I will get into UNC because I know they have a great IB program but my GPA while working 80 hours a week without the bad noncurricular semester is 3.6. With working so hard in a professional environment I have been told by some people with authority to give them my resume when I'm done with this next semester. A MD of UBS came into the office one day and I was just talking with me and he told me to give him a call for my first internship when I'm almost done with my sophomore year and gave me his personal number (Has even called to see what's going on). Also, a VP at BOA told me the same (he's a family friend). I think UNCC has a reputable business school for IB in charlotte but stats don't lie. My credits also don't transfer the GPA so I plan on graduating with a 4.0 so I just feel like me networking my way in is a great asset of mine I can employ but also what the right credentials.

Thanks.
