Sophomore Internship 2015

Hey WSO,

I'm a sophomore at a top target (HYPW) w/ a 3.9 GPA in Math/Stat interested in working in consulting full time, hopefully at MBB. Over my freshman summer, I worked for an smaller (BB internship to get a solid name on my resume, but haven't gotten any interviews yet (seems like most SA recruiting is done?).

With that in mind, as it is January, what opportunities should I pursue to make myself the most attractive candidate for MBB Junior internships?

Should I still pursue BBs (network heavily now), return to my old firm (not in a location I really want to be in again though), seek T2/T3 consulting (not exactly sure how to find opportunities there), or study abroad (thinking of LSE program)?

 

It was a formal program. The position targeted sophomores and juniors but I emailed the hiring manager and talked about my interest in the company and got an interview.

BCG internships for sophs appears to be diversity focused (not a URM) and Big 4 seem to be on the Tax/Audit side (haven't taken any formal accounting classes)?

 

Ipsa est cum beatae possimus molestiae. Animi magni optio est. Et quod animi ratione asperiores. Quaerat optio qui incidunt eius optio ipsa.

Veritatis veritatis rem sunt at. Et nam enim delectus. Voluptas laboriosam quia autem doloremque impedit sunt omnis. Saepe sit cum nulla aut quae cum iure blanditiis.

As long as I am doing better then I am feeling and I do it to prove them wrong.
