Networking your way in to IB

Hi all, I am currently a senior who is going to be graduating here in May 2019. I am interested in getting in to IB and want to network with current bankers. How would you recommend going about this? I have a very unique degree which allowed me to manage real money my senior year and gain experience in the financial services industry. The degree is very experiential and provided me with great skills that I believe would transfer. Thoughts? Thanks for the insight!

You haven't really told us anything useful. We don't know what caliber school you're coming from, your GPA, your prior work experience etc. All we know is that you have a "unique" degree you decided not to disclose and that you have 0 network. So, judging you based on these characteristics, I would say your chances are near if not 0 for any full time FO role starting on cycle right after you graduate.
