What is the best route I can chose?

<p>Hello, what is the best route I can go for. I have 4 educational interests (in order of interest):
1)Investment Banking
2)Corporate Law
3)Theoretical Physics
4)Medicine</p>

<p>I am in grade 10 and living in Iran (I'm a Canadian citizen) right now and my first finals GPA is 3.9, I will be going to our schools IB program next year. Last year I got very sick (asthma attacks) and could not give my finals. My report card then consisted of 7 Standing granted marks, 3 A's (Honors Math, Engineering, Business) and one -C from English (I have no idea why my teacher gave me this mark). </p>

<p>To get a good investment banking job you need to go to an Ivy and you can't get into an Ivy without good grade 9 marks? Am I correct?</p>

<p>Also, to get into a good law firm you have to go to a good law school and to go to a good law school you have to go to a good undergrad school. Which is impossible because of my bad grade 9 marks. </p>

<p>In theoretical physics it is really hard to get a good wage. </p>

<p>I'm ok with medicine but don't love it as much as the other jobs listed.</p>

<p>Also these are my extracurricular things</p>

<p>You don’t need to go to an Ivy League school to get a good investment banking job.</p>

<p>Don’t you need to go to an Ivy to get a IB job in a firm like Merrill Lynch or Morgan Stanley?</p>

<p>Definitely don’t go with law. The job market is terrible for that right now. And don’t do medicine unless you’re truly passionate about that because it’s a TON of work. So I would choose between investment banking and physics if I were you (banking sounds like the better choice in my opinion)</p>

<p>Actually, there are other possibilities for Ibanking, especially if you can be full pay. Look into Georgetown and Colgate, for example, plus Williams and Amherst.
Try to get recruited for golf at a NESCAC school for instance.</p>

<p>You can come from any undergraduate school (although attending a top 30 national university or LAC helps for the top 14- ie., the only law schools that matter - it’s absolutely not necessary. Each year Harvard publishes where its L1 class graduated from and they try to have many different regions and institutions. Look it up, “The college solution” made a post about it a few months back). What matters is how YOU excelled and took advantage of the opportunities offered to you.</p>
