Im not going to an Ivy League, but can i still work in hedge funds and prop trading?

[russianking]

Since I was 14 years old I was learning to trade and I seriously love this business. Im going to a top 50 university but its not a target AKA Ivy League school. I am maintaining a high GPA, trading personal account, in the trading club, and read alot about trading. I want to start into a prop shop then go on to hedge funds. I currently am at a community college planning on transferring to a top 50, perhaps, Depaul. I plan on double majoring in finance/economics with minor in math, or economics/math or finance/computer science/ minor in math. Im not really sure whats the best majors to take. I dont really want to be a quant i just want to trade at a prop shop then earn valuable track record, perhaps, start my own prop shop or hedge fund.


thank you

Didn't I read this question earlier? Perhaps you posted it on a different forum.
