I’m going to be a freshman at Syracuse in the fall, and I am trying to come up with a plan of action that will put me in the best position to break into IB. What should I do while studying there that will put me In the best situation? I am majoring in finance and looking at other majors and minors that would give me an edge. Let me know what you think!

Syracuse is a non-target to low tier semi-target. That being said people have legit got into banking from every school. Just work hard, network with alumni (this is most important), join clubs, and apply for as many relevant internships as soon as possible.
lmao... in what world is Syracuse a semi-target bro. Even on the low end. Just because it has a fairly sized undedrgraduate population doesn't make it a target. LinkedIn searches confirm this
Im going on the basis of 2-3 BB’s have on campus recruiting each year there. Rather than zero on campus as most non-targets.
Idt you need to pick up another major or minor unless it something that genuinely interests you. Just focus on getting good GPA and finance internships, as well as networking and just enjoying your first year of college in general
Transfer after your first year
this^ are you considering transfering? I wrote a long response for a realistic way to best prepare yourself to transfer on a Fordham vs UVA thread... it would be exactly the same for your move from Syracuse -> semi/target school.
PM me. Rising senior at Cuse, Welcome!
Thank you all!

Remember hearing about Syracuse having a pretty decent trek program to NYC. Similar to UFlorida, I believe. I'd imagine alumni use the trek to build a pipeline (as this is much easier since the accepted students have already been filtered by the university sponsoring the trek). Look into this and begin reaching out to rising juniors asking to schedule a quick 15min chat on how they broke into WallSt and how to best prep for any clubs/treks/orgs interviews.
