High School Sophomore College Opportunities

I’m currently a female sophomore in high school from NJ. I want to go to college for Finance with a Comp Sci minor— trying to go into IB or a job in Fintech. I have a 3.4 UW and a 3.9 W GPA and I’m in all honors and AP classes. These are my ECs so far:

-Conducting Finance case study at my high school, planning to present research at a convention later this year
-Student Fundraising Ambassador for children’s cancer music therapy organization
-Fundraising Director for my school’s music program
-8 years of school orchestra— won state championship last year
-4 honor societies

I’m looking to branch further into more finance related activities like starting a business or an LLC that’s based on investing. I know I have a long time until college and even applying to jobs but I want to know if something like IB is feasible for someone like me.
