great man gl, my friend at GS told me that next year GS is planning on reducing the intern/FT class by almost half so i am giving up this pointless race :D better luck to all of you (you all have a lot more will power than myself)!

I got to a non-target, finance and Computer science dual major sophopmore with a 3.6. and honestly at my non-target 4-5 BB recruited but next year we are fucked, big time.... I heard no BB's next year for my school.

You are right man this shit is getting competitive to the point where you have to be a 4.0 at my non-target or you get the shaft now (for BB of course)

I want a lady on the street, but a freak in the bed, Go Bucks!!

Keep your head up. You don't have to have a 4.0, 2400 SAT to get interviews. You do need 3.5+ GPA (which you do have), relevant experience, and you definitely need to network.

Yea man, I agree man (I just feel like the intern/hiring freezes will just get worse with a double dip coming on its way and everything :D) but I think I may stick with my startup and move out to SF/Bay area (it is as risky as Wall street in my opinion but the payout can be a lot higher or I could fail :O ). Idk man the other thing I hate about IBD is that its structured, if I am a rockstar I still have to wait till I finish my 2 years before I can move on. With a startup its all about how good the idea is and how hard I am willing to make it grow, if you are a great CEO, visionary, marketer, manager, speaker and your 19-20 people may ridicule you but you can still succeed young and I dont want to wait till I am 32 to hit the respect (MD phase) when I can call my own shots now, again sure it is a lot more risky but I dont really want to think that far in the future anyways. I mean we all are dieing this year anyways so why not just live it to the max :D (haha jk.... but idk lol)
