sahilbryan,

If you are still around, and you STILL want to take a stab at Goldman here is what you do:

1) Since you are an undergrad you will need to transfer to ONE of the top 10 National schools offering business education i.e. U of TX at Austin, U of Penn, UC Berkeley, U of MI at Ann Arbor, MIT. Unfortunately, your chances are very slim with current university.

2) You will need to join a club where you can be a part of the committee, i.e. Secretary of the Finance Club

3) You will need to do a lot case studies via your class or club AND compete in intercollegiate Case Competitions, i.e. EDS runs one of the well know competitions in Plano, TX where most of the students from Top 10 undergrads compete

4) You will need to do some volunteer work, i.e. tutoring, mentoring

5) You will need to develop a relationship with a Professor who is comfortable enough to write an extraordinary recommendation for you. The way this works is that you need to labor your extra hours doing a bit after class research for the Professor AND you should score an A on the subject s/he teaches...

6) You need guts...lots of it!

This says it all:
Investment banks go for someone who can be as alert at 2AM in the morning as they were when they started at 8AM the previous day.

Good luck!
