MSF Vanderbilt

Hello,

Currently an accounting student at a state university in texas. 3.7 GPA. I don't know many people that could give me good recs, except two managers at work. I work as an accounting assistant at a regional fast food chain.  I don't really build relationships with professors. Upcoming Big 4 audit intern (spring 2024). I got a 38 on verbal and 35 on quant on practice tests first try, nothing seen before. I haven't taken math in years, so I am doing TTP to improve that. Aiming for a 700. 

I'm an URM, first gen and immigrant (moved here to the US 2 years ago, and transferred universities.) State university in texas was the only one that made sense financially as an immigrant. I am active in clubs. I won 2nd place nationally in an investment competition back home (over 5000 students) held by the largest national bank. 

I am entering my senior year (and possibly last semester) of undergrad. Any advice that would be able to improve my prospects? I've taken an interest in banking recently (always been my passion) but everything is so overwhelming I don't know where to start. I want to either do Sales or Trading / Investment banking. I don't care about BB, just want to work in banking or trading.
