Non Target -> MMIB -> MMPE -> M7
First of all, I don’t want this to sound like the majority of the “is it possible to break into XX from my situation” posts from non target kids.
I’m an IB Summer Analyst for a MM firm (think HW/Blair/Baird) and I’m hoping to go into MMPE after a couple of years as an Analyst. Coming from a non-target, and not having any family/friends in finance, it was difficult to get an offer in the first place. I’ve recently decided I want to go to a top MBA program after a couple of years in PE, and I have a good idea of what I need to do to put myself in the best position possible to get there. Obviously, I understand that I have to actually get a return offer, do well as an Analyst, and get into MMPE before all of this.
I’m wondering if anyone from a non-target has gone a similar route and has any advice?
FYI: I have a 3.9 GPA, multiple on campus clubs/organizations, relevant internships, sports, hobbies that I’m actually passionate about, and I don’t have a finance boner.
Just looking to best position myself to be successful and exploring my options. I understand the opportunity costs and I’m willing to take them. I’m not asking if this route is “possible,” just looking to hear from people with similar experiences.

Yes, this happens all the time.
in a similar spot- is it possible to go MMIB -> MMPE -> HBS/Stanford? I know MBA applications are tough, even for someone who went GS->KKR, so I’m not sure how someone who went Blair->respectable MMPE has any chance of competing.
Exactly. also in a tier 2 city, not sure how much that has to do with it.
If you are an URM very very doable
Is Non-target -> Regional Botique -> Lateral MM/BB Analyst -> MM PE a common path?
