I know that going to a top school is important, Wharton..., but it is absolutely neccessary? Should I waste my time trying to get into it or focus on something else?

Why do you say waste your time? Do you know you won't get in? It sounds like you already made your decision.
There are many other top schools which BB IBanks look at. AND there are also boutique IB and tier 2 IB, sure the "prestige" isn't as big but hey your still making lots of money; more money then anywhere else. Plus if IB is really what you love, why should you quit now? Maybe you should really sit down and decide if IBanking is for you? Just a thought ^^
