student wanting advice

Hey everybody. I am a student right now and I really want to get into a BB but I think I probably don't have the right culture. I mean I look at things like Bankella's post and the GS and JP Elevator Gossip twitters, and I think I could probably make it into JPMorgan or MS but I don't think I'm douchey enough for GS.

I really want to work for Goldman Sachs, though, but whenever I try to be a douche it seems to me to just come off like that - trying. It's not natural yet. I say things that my friends who wanna go to JPM or MS laugh at, but the coolest kids just kinda shake their heads, and one of them had an internship in SLC with GS.

So what can I do? I read the GS Elevator and compare it to the JPM Elevator and it's the same thing. GS seems natural, JPM pushed and just wanna-be.

Well I don't wanna be a wannabe! So please help a struggling student learn, how does one really become a douche? I dated an asian girl and then broke up with her just to do it, is that on the right track? I'm really lost here, hoping for your help. Thanks guys.
