Transferring to a non-target school after bad first year at CC.
I'm a freshman at community college (I was supposed to go to a semi-target, Indiana but COVID-19 ruined those plans) I also was interested in IB since my sophomore year of HS and I started networking for it this year. I've been on many calls with bankers and set up excel sheets so I could track progress + keep in touch. I failed to do good in school this semester (3.0 GPA) and even if I do perfect next semester I still won't be able to transfer to a bigger target school.
So basically, if I end up transferring to a non-target school (Penn State, Rutgers, Indiana non-Kelley) how does my impact my chances breaking into IB.
Should also add that I'm a diversity candidate(young black kid) so I'm shooting to apply for the sophomore year specific internships that banks have, so that's why I'm starting so early and putting emphasis on this.
Do way more networking. Over-due it, if you have to. Plenty of students break into IB (EB, BB, MM) from Rutgers, Penn State and Indiana. GPA doesn’t transfer over so that’s good for you in a sense, so do better in the courses.
I don’t think you’ll have problem breaking into IB as you mentioned you’re a diversity(black) Plenty of my friends got into IB/PE with less than 3.0 GPA and almost ZERO networking from a non target. The bar is lower so your GPA and school won’t matter as much. Good luck!
