What to do during quarantine?

Hey all,

I am an (hopefully) incoming analyst at a BB interested in PE and not quite sure what to do to prep for PE recruiting. I have been ripping through the LBO models and feel comfortable doing the modeling tests. My dilemma is that I did really bad on the SAT (1200) which ultimately led me to a nontarget where I have a 3.9. I didn’t take HS seriously but still want to push for PE so my 2 choices are 1) prep for banking, kill it and get great references and go to a fund that won’t ask for it or doesn’t care about it or 2) spend the next 2 months prepping for the GMAT and take it (it’s online now). I did a practice test without any studying and got a 600 so i might be able to crack 700+ in that short time. Any advice would be beneficial and I am targeting UMM buyout funds.
