Thoughts on my Plan?

Context:

  • Incoming SA at American BB in London
  • About to graduate from my undergrad semi-target/low target
  • Offer from absolute Top UK Target for Masters
  • International Student

Plan A = Convert Internship, Do Masters/Take a year off

(Touch all fucking wood in the universe) Plan B = Fail to Convert -> Do Master's -> Apply for Summers/Off-Cycles for 2021

(If Master's Course becomes Virtual, Cambridge Uni just announced all of its lectures will be virtual) Plan C = Fail to Convert -> Take a Year off, Pursue Passion Projects etc like make a startup, non-protit etc, CFA level 1 and 2, even higher GMAT (i'm on a 730) -> APPLY for Summer Internships to UK despite needing Visa sponsorship + Apply for Top Top Top Master programmes in the US and UK again worst case -> Late 2021 do the Masters and apply for Grad jobs for 2022.

Plan D = Spread butcheecks and do my accounting qualifications

Is this a solid plan? Would you take the Top Target Masters even if it goes virtual? I don't know if I can bring myself to pay so much money without the irl experience.
