Rising college Junior looking for advice

Hello,

As you guys can see, I'm fairly new to WSO, but wanted to get some advice.
As of my background, I'm a international student. lived in US since I was 9, but was unable to obtain green
card and puts me at a far disadvantage when landing a job. goes to a Emory University and studies at the
Goizueta business school. It's a 2 year degree, which I had to apply spending time In Emory until Sophmore year.
As I spent 2 years off from school to finish military service at home, I'm having frustration with future and further school work as I return to school this August.

I know my school is not great job recruiting, and no prestige as ivys, and labeled as some what semi-target.
I wanted to break into IB after great consideration and wanted to hear what others have to say to my situation. I don't have any internship experience, but have a okay gpa (3.7+). My junior year and senior year in the business school will be fairly more competitive and allow me to if IB is what I want to pursue in future. Meanwhile, any inputs for what I can do during school year and straight forward advises (even criticisms) will be greatly appreciated.

You have lived in America since you were 9?

Emory is well respected, and has excellent recruiting so I'm starting to doubt the veracity of this post.

 

I moved around the states; spent childhood in California and went to high school in Michigan. Yes, Emory is somewhat respected in the south, but my chances as a international student who needs a h-1b Visa seems fairly difficult when as see friends that are alike. What can I do while I'm at school to put me at a advantage in terms of recruiting?
