ibanking schools

Applying to College

<p>Here's how it stands:</p>

<p>Going on to senior year, just finished junior
HS Uwt. GPA: 3.33
HS Wt. GPA: 3.5
ACT w/ writing composite score: 33 (strong possibility of 34 if I retake)
SAT: NA
SAT II's: Math lvl2- 750, US- 720
Very few but some extracurriculars: 4 years out-of-school fencing, several in-school clubs
AP's: 6 if including senior year, 3 taken so far
HS API score: 897
HS does not provide class rankings
Residency in California</p>

<p>If I'm right, the vast majority of ibanking recruitment is held from the more prestigious schools in the country, the vast majority of which I'm not getting in to with this. I can't afford private schools for the most part, so that narrows it even more. Out of state public is an option with the exception of Great Lakes region.</p>

<p>Do I still have a chance to fix this with 1st semester senior grades?
What schools can I potentially look at if any at all?
Bottom line- a school that will land me an investment banking job after that I could somehow miraculously get into. Is it a lost cause or does it exist?</p>

<p>Moments like these is when half of us wish we were one legged child prodigy refugees from North Korea.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

Hah. That’s worse than the idiots who wish their family’s salary was substantially lower so that they would qualify for FA. :)</p>

<p>I doubt you can “fix this” with 1 semester. Can’t you go to a middling UC school and transfer after a year or two?</p>
