He may be well connected - or, he also may be very good with fantastic interpersonal skills once he got his foot in the door. People who go to non-targets doesn't mean they aren't as bright.
I've gone - non-target --> big 4 advisory program --> small/mid size hedge fund --> BB --> top tier HF. Didn't have a 4.0, didn't have connections. Just trying to show its possible and probable
Looks impressive, but not impossible.
I broke into IBD with no internship, no connections, no other advantage than languages and interview skills. My technical skills back then weren't great either. Walked through various finance teams through the years and now I am in PE/VC.

That's the path that I'm trying to follow as well. Barring the GPA, mine is pretty good, and went to a somewhat-semi-target public school regionally. Got some BB experience in MO and I'm trying to leverage that intl commercial banking at an MM or IBAB to eventually lateral into corporate on way to IB or straight to IB.
It's good to hear others have been on this very same path! Gives me more encouragement. My only issue is that I'm starting to accrue in years.
I'm currently in banking and and in my final year of university at a state university and was wondering if you had any tips on how to make you leverage your commercial banking experience on your resume when applying to positions? Thanks!

Definitely very impressive, but don't think it's impossible
Smart/hard work, hustle and a good personality.
