Hi All,
I'd just like to say thanks to all the contributors to these boards and this site. The resources here have helped me land a SA spot at a great boutique in NY. Being a sophomore from a non-target, I needed all the help I could get - and I got a lot of it from WSO (both from the boards and interview guides).
So yes, other young non-targets, it's definitely possible to fight your way in. Thanks again!

Congrats. I am happy for you.
Thanks guys! Also, if any students out there want advice at all (I may be barely qualified to give it, but I'm sure I'll be able to add some value), just send me a PM. I'd be happy to give back.
You are going to go far with this attitude. Gotta give back to our community because we get to where we are for those who were kind enough to show us the way. When it is our time, we need to do the same.
"We did not charge the beach of Normandy, Do the Humvee in the desert of Iran or fight in the Iraq. Everything we have, we did not earn it on our own. That should be a very humbling thing for everyone. We all have great power to change the world and we must use it to do just that." ~ Jamie Dimon, Address to HBS MBA Class of 2009
