Non-Target SEC School Success Stories?

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.

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.

 

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.
