At McCombs and can chime in -
A few of those orgs recruit in the spring, so try again then for sure.
All in all - high GPA, learn the BIWS guides, and do an IB internship or at least something finance related early on.
To directly address orgs, campus investment team memberships get upperclassmen to vouch for you for IBA/WSFM which help you with IB recruiting. These latter two orgs have ~95% IB/PE/HF placement. That being said I’ve seen multiple people (non-diverse as well) strike out on clubs freshman year who learn the guides properly over their summer and then put in the leg work for a solid internship or two and get into IBA/WSFM.
There are definitely multiple people who don’t get into clubs or those two feeder orgs as well who place into IB whether that’s SF, NYC, or HOU. Houston is the most straightforward for recruiting since UT is very well represented in Texas.
I hope this helps
Best of luck!
In leadership role at one of said orgs (USIT/TUIT/TEG) - just transfer to a better school tbh. Cornell, Chicago, Berkeley all good options - just have to keep your GPA pretty high.
Do clubs really have that much of an influence in terms of recruiting and IBA/WSFM that its better to transfer? Also whats the impact of Greek Life?
Sorry for asking a lot of questions, I’m a BHP+finance 2028 admit getting prepped (have finance extracurriculars and an internship)
Imho Berkeley isn’t going to yield meaningfully better results, still a large state school plus the geographical/timezone difference sucks for interviews/networking calls. Transferring to Cornell/Gtown or a small LAC/NESCAC (especially for better per capita placement + academic story on resume) works better.
Source: transferred from UT to a LAC, got BB IBD. Also could try the BHP/WSFM route which is arguably just as good as an LAC if not better.
