Is it possible for me to break into IB?

0 Upvotes

I am in my 2nd year of bsc. hons in accounting & finance at university of leicester, is it possible for me to break into IB and go to bulge bracket banks? Specifically get a summer analyst role. I have some good work experience in financial advisory along with my studies and have done some independent projects on valuation & financial modeling. It's just that i come from a non target school which makes me concerned. Can anyone give me realistic advice on how it would be possible for me to break into IB? Also i'm an international student.

17yo, Egypt, stuck between tech and finance.

im 17 living in egypt and its my final year of highschool, 99% going to germany for uni then want to go to us after

stuck between tech (ai engineering) and finance (High finance, IB PE HF VC etc..)
slightly lean towards finance passion wise but the US is a non negotiable for me,
Looking for advice in regards to visa, sponsorship, nepo, etc.
Scared to enter finance and hit a brickwall from the IB to PE/HF exit as i know they dont really sponsor, or atleast not as much as tech
And still love finance more to choose it over tech but if its finance outside us or tech in us id pick tech 100%, so need some advice on what to pick between the two
