There are three ways into the finance world; straight out of undergrad from a 'target' school with at least one summer intership at target bank, MBA from a target school, or Math PhD from a well-regarded school.

Is there a fourth way of doing it by befriending a random person who already works there and can get shoehorned in? Probably not, I'm sure they care about the pedigree more than basically anything else.

I send an application to RenTec every six months, almost as a joke because I would be extremely surprised if they continue after seeing <NOT A TOP 20 SCHOOL> on my resume. Granted, I don't think you really "apply" to RenTec to begin with, I think realistically they actually find you.
