Hi everyone! - Currently second year at non target

Hi everyone. I am currently second year student at non target university in the Czech Republic hoping to break into investment banking industry most preferably in London. I know that my origin is an obstacle for me making networking harder. But I like challenges.
Now I am currently working hard on my extracurriculars and GPA, to sort to compensate for my origins. You can check them in my CV if you wish. But since site guidelines won't let met post links, so you would have look for it in my profile activity. Feel free to drop some critics while you are at it.

Right now I am trying my luck with BB IBD SA and spring weeks gigs in London, but I do not have high expectations as I did not network my ass off. For the next year I will be fully prepared and maybe even with some finance based working experience. And if that won't work out... we'll see.
If somebody actually reads it, thank you for your time and wish me luck.

P.S. Being long lurker on WSO I have finally became sort of active contributor. I want to thank to the community for all those laughs and also things I learned. Thanks
