It may or may not be, but if you are willing to work 80 hours per week than you might as well spend the extra 15 minutes drafting a skeleton template IB cover letter that you can then quickly edit as needed for future opportunities. You sound lazy man.

My name is Nicky, but you can call me Dre.

This is my first time applying to an SA IB, someone told me that you have to be in college(sophmore) to apply. Is that true?

jecYou still in high school, I don't think anyone is going to hire you unless your parents have strong connections.
Thank you for the direct answer.
 

Banks hire interns that can start full time the following year (ie college juniors). The only finance internship that you would have a shot at (without your Dad being a CEO, etc...) while still in high school is Private Wealth Management. I've known people who got that in high school. Albeit their parents were probably clients of the financial advisor...
