Student Seeking Advice / Is Banking still an option for me?

Hi, I am a transfer student at Dartmouth College and want to go into investment banking. The only problem is that I didn't network because I came from a community college and transferred to Dartmouth as a junior. Recruiting was way over by the time I got to campus in September. Is there any advice you guys can give me? I feel like transferring as a junior has put me at a disadvantage, and I don't know if I can delay my graduation. Is there anything else I can do besides a double major?

 

Ahh im in a similar boat. My plan is to rack up no name boutique experience and then recruit for full time or lateral later on. Tough luck

 

I actually transferred from a community college to a non-target and I landed a job at a Top tier MM bank Blair/HL/Baird. I can tell you from my experience that what I did was delay my graduation by one semester which allowed me to get more internship experience and it worked out in the end. You're definitely on a better spot than I was 2 years ago haha
