Is it possible? - Currently attending a community college

I am currently attending a community college in Tucson, AZ. My GPA is a 3.8, and I just received direct admittance to W.P. Carey, at ASU. I was wondering if honestly I have any shot in the investment banking world, or would they just look over my name and laugh. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. I know this is what I want to do, I just want to make sure that it is realistic.

Gain confidence and make it happen. If someone from Univ of Alabama can do it, so can you (UofAtoNYC.com). Get a higher than 3.8 GPA of Arizona, extra curriculars, and NETWORK right away.

Keep the CC off your resume.
