Too late for IB?
Hey all. I was wondering if it is too late for IB. I just graduated from a top high school and am currently taking a gap year. I interned at a top PE firm last summer and am slated to intern at capital management.
I am headed to major in business admin/finance. The eventual goal is NYC BB after graduation but do you all think it’s too late since I don’t have a BB internship yet and I am headed to a west coast school (even if it is a west coast school that places decently well).
ACT: 35, SAT 1500, GPA 3.91/4
Really can't tell if this is a serious question or trolling.
God these posts need to stop
Yes
I think it's too late for you. Banks have already started recruiting for 2024 and 90% of the summer class has been filled already. You really should have worked harder and tried to get in earlier, especially coming from a non-target and having such a low GPA of 3.91.
Most people were at Apollo level firms freshman year of HS. And the GPA cutoff is usually 3.95 - you're too far below the average to be competitive. Also banks really look down on gap years. It shows a lack of commitment to education.
I think your best option might be if you do Teach for America after graduation and try to get IB afterwards. Goldman really loves TFA and McKinsey too if you want to try for consulting. That or trying for summer associate roles after getting into an M7 business school.
