Your advice required

Hello,

I'm looking for opinions. I will be in my early 30's when I graduate university (undergrad) in Economics from a Canadian school (think McGill, UWO, UT) with a GPA of around 3.2. Reason behind my late graduation is from personal reasons and simply put, I was not able to attend before.

Given the information above, what would you recommend I do if I really wanted to get into IB? Is it a lost cause? Keep in mind that most Canadian banks typically look for Desautels, Ivey, and Rotman accordingly. (For the US readers, these are the business schools).

Also, considering my age is probably a big factor, would you recommend I take summer classes instead of internships (if applicable), to speed up my graduation? Or do you feel that internships > faster grad date.

I'll leave it at that, what are your thoughts?
