Grinnell College for IB

I am an international student from Europe who was recently admitted to Grinnell College, a small LAC in the midwest. Considering that this is my first acceptance to an American Uni I'm very excited. I intend to major in Econ and minor in Chinese/Finance. 

I'm interested in a career within the financial sector and my goal is to break into IB after graduating. Nevertheless, I'm well aware of how competitive this is and would like to know my chances coming from a small LAC such as Grinnell. 

I'm curious to know if Grinnell is in any way represented in the industry and if it is possible to break into IB from the school? 

I'm also interested in learning a bit more about the process of breaking into IB as an international student! 

Any insight is appreciated. 

Thanks in advance!
