I am currently in my first semester of after doing my MSF at a non-target SEC school (where I also did my undergraduate degree.) I was curious if anyone else on WSO made had success stories coming from non-target SEC schools?
Edit: Other than Vanderbilt.

Which SEC school? Vandy and Ole Miss are very different - the SEC categorization doesn’t help much in these situations.
Made a point to clarify. Apologies.
Still variation in answer. If it’s Florida you have a very solid shot but I can’t think of any other school where you’d have a reasonable chance, besides maybe Georgia.
Hence the reason for the post! There are 20-30 student a year who go into IB from my university, just curious to hear other’s story.
100% Florida.
Went to SEC school (prob the same one you attend). Interned in IB at a mid tier bank and will be at a “EB” for full time.
