Looks about right.
You're a shoo-in, just submit your application online through the website of whichever bank you want. Goldman Sachs is a good one
He should try Lehman and Bear first, Don't want him settling for someone like Goldman!
Memorize this post, make it the first thing you say when you walk into an interview, and you should be golden.
I'm going to be nicer than the guys above (but not because you deserve it). Firstly, this is a redundant questions because 1) The recruiting process is layered and not just made up of 'data points' of GPA, degree etc. Yes prestige matters but there are so many other elements at work. 2) We have no idea about your ECs, work experience, community involvement (redundant really, unless you've played a significant/leadership role). 3) By the looks of it, you'r a novice to the world of finance. No one in their right mind would ask that question and especially not with such a dearth of details/data/interesting story/account of a booze-filled escapade with models. 4) Networking counts for a lot. Plenty of stories about guys who broke into wall street jobs from a non-target. A larger number litters the 'graveyard of finance' so don't get too excited by this. 5) Finally, even an IBD job at a third-tier bank counts as an 'IBD analyst job'. If that's what you'r looking for, you may just have what it takes and I wish you good luck, Sir!
