Is IB realistic for me

Hey guys, I know there's a million of these post but I'm really unsure of what to do and could use some feedback on my situation

I am a computer engineer from Rutgers University (Big Ten State School)
-3.4 gpa (2.7 underclassmen GPA || 4.0 upperclassmen GPA) (due to personal issues my freshman and sophomore years)
-decent internships in tech

is it realistic to pursue IB or should I give up and focus on tech instead?

 

Have you looked into the investment banking club at Rutgers? I would start taking advantage of alumni on LinkedIn and start reaching out to them for advice.

CE is a great degree and I think tech is your best bet obviously since IB is usually for the 1% of Ivy Grads. Look into boutiques and smaller shops and try to get some relevant experience

I'm not qualified to give you an answer but according to this website anything is possible.
