I am about to head into recruiting season as a sophomore at Duke this year. I'm an Econ/CS major with a good GPA (for now), but not in any of the business/finance clubs on campus. Is IB still a realistic shot for me? Also, when should I start trying to network? I saw some comments recommending now, but others saying to wait a few months.
Thanks!

I can’t believe what I’m reading
No you have no chance. The school with the head of banking or c-suite executive at every reputable bank does not place a single person in IB. Try sanitation work
Lol I know how it sounds. But I don't have any connections and I understand that connections are how a lot of people at targets get offers
Make some then...
Yup i’ve been working on it
Should’ve gone to UNC
Nah only targets in the are UNC and NC State. Would personally transfer to those schools ASAP
