IB would not be a place I'd expect to run across quants. Any quant would be way, way overqualified for IB modelling.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
 

Did you pass pre-calc?

if you're not from a target school, you should try to be a quant. You're not gonna use the quant stuff as an IBD analyst, but it makes you not look like the run of the diploma mill finance major.
