An online degree isn’t going to be of much use for IB recruiting. Your GPA is likely too low to get into LSE for an in-person Bachelor’s degree. Your English (based on your post) is also far below the standard you’d need to get a job in an industry like IB. I recommend improving your English immensely, taking the GMAT and trying to get into an master’s finance course at Oxbridge/LSE.

 

First of all thank you for your response ım sorry ım not using my english much ı studied at primary school after that ı went for italian high school and studied italian and latin there you mentioned that ı should study for gmat and ımprove my english ı agree both but ı have still 2 more years ın law school what should ı do to ımprove my chanses at IB ? do you know someone was working or worked ın ıstanbul ?

should ı drop law school and try to get ın target uni also our school has a program you can study economics and law double major do you thınk that helps ? I have no reletives do these kınd of jobs all of them ıs small busıness owners so ı ask here thank you...

 

We’d need more information to make a judgement. Age, university, prior work experience, if you have dual nationality etc. Honestly, I don’t want to be too negative towards you (as I think everyone needs to chase their dream) but I think your chances of London IB are slim to none right now. It sounds like you’ve done very little actual research about IB in general and to drop out of law school for it would be extremely high risk for the low potential of reward. I can’t talk to IB in Turkey at all.
