Does anyone know how competitive it is to get into U.S. IB as a Canadian student from Ivey/Queens without U.S. citizenship? I'm assuming it's much more difficult to break into than ib at the Canadian banks, but I'm curious to know the typical qualifications that these banks look at when reviewing international applicants (e.g. GPA, work experience, past networking, etc.)? Thanks.
