516 (and Im not so grateful)

Hi all! So I just got my score back today and it was a 516: 130, 128, 128, 129

I am definitely grateful for this score, and I acknowledge that it is a good score. However, I can't help but not feel proud of myself. I was aiming for a 518.

My FL averages, after studying 2 months full time, were 514 518 521 516. So I know this score was within the range as well. Yet, this result feels so off. Ive never seen a 129 in the BB section, and couldn't have predicted that.

I wish I would've gotten a score that I could celebrate, but instead I've been crying all day about how this score could've closed doors to some schools as an asian. I feel like I should've delayed my exam or studied differently.

I'm looking for guidance on how to move forward. Part of me wants to retake it because I believe in my ability to do something differently this time. The other part of me is lost and crying because I don't feel proud about this score that I have to accept.

What I wish I knew before trying to break into Investment Banking

One thing I think students underestimate when recruiting for Investment Banking is how early the process really starts.

It’s not just about having good grades and applying when applications open. By the time recruiting starts, a lot of candidates already have months of networking, technical prep, and interview practice behind them.

A few things I wish I understood earlier:

  • Networking matters more than just sending LinkedIn messages. Try to have actual conversations and learn about people's experiences rather than immediately asking for referrals.
  • Technical preparation takes longer than you think. You don't need to memorize everything overnight, but understanding the basics of accounting, valuation, and financial statements early makes recruiting much less stressful.
  • Your story matters. “Why IB?” and “Walk me through your resume” can be just as important as technical questions.
  • Rejection is part of the process. A bad interview or unanswered networking email doesn't necessarily mean you're not competitive.

For those already working in IB or other sell-side roles: what's one thing you wish you had known before recruiting?
