NEED HELP STAT!!!

Okay guys, here's the deal. I was on the WSO chat and this WSO user who is IN THE INDUSTRY said I was fail. I was like omigosh no way, and started wondering if I will ever get into banking.

I NEED HELP

I have a 3.99 gpa (double major in applied mathematics and finance) from MIT, I'm the President Supreme of the Finance and Investment clubs (we have 200% returns since I took over), and I save babies from neglectful parents in my spare time.

WHAT CAN I DO TO BE I-BANKER?!!? I know the 3.99 is going to hurt my chances, but I don't know how I can change that, should I study more than 67.2359 hours a week? I can try and make my position HIGH President Supreme in both clubs, maybe this will help

any help is stupendous!

I even used common medical terminology to show you the extremely tense nature of the situation I'm in right now, and that's what you come up with? I'm never going to have a Big Swinging Dick now :(

Yep. Last night was interesting, I don't think this needs to stay up so I may just pull the trigger and delete it haha
