breaking into BB/IB or MBB from non target
Hello, I am from Alaska and will be attending a non target university (U.C.Berkeley, non HAAS). I am getting a BA in data science. Do I stand a shot, if so how?

Is this a troll post? Berkeley is not a non-target; regardless if you are in Haas or not, it is a target school for the West Coast, and a strong semi target for NYC.
Not trolling. I meant it’s not a target as is HYP W and stuff that I got rejected from. what can I do at berkeley to try to break ?
U can stop being a squid for one
I don't think things you mentioned should, or would, stop you.
Grind and then transfer to a target
did you not get into Haas? some context would help
correct
Are you in one of Berkeley's banking clubs or perhaps a frat? If not, you should consider joining one so older members can show you the ropes. Are you finishing up your sophomore year and recruiting for summer 2022? You seem a bit lost imo, but I'm happy to help you
You will be completely fine from berkeley if you are proactive.
Can you define "proactive?" is there a list of stuff I can do
Yeah you basically have to be ready at the right time. You won't make it if you lack any element but it's hard to fuck up if everything is in place when you start applying to summer analyst programs around spring of your second year.
Your tasks are networking, interview prep, internships (every summer), and involvement in your school's finance / investing clubs. By the middle of sophomore year the goal is to be able to answer any interview question, have a good contact at every bank you like if not a few of them, have done a banking or PE internship or something similar, and be on the board of your finance club and contribute to your school's investment fund. No guarantees but you'll be competitive
Also FYI berkeley is one of maybe three or four target schools on the west coast. I broke in from a decidedly non-target UC.
