What courses should I be taking (or completed) when I apply for a summer analyst internship?

During my first two years, I've completed my general education courses and basic business classes that have to be taken by all business majors.

Next Fall, I'll be taking business core classes such as Principles of Fiance (reserved for juniors).

Since I haven't taken many courses involving finance, will this hurt my chances of getting an internship?

Sounds legit.

"I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature."
 

Are you also thinking of Principles of Wedding and Principles of Marriage? Heard good shit about them.

It doesn't matter at all what you've taken. My school mainly sends people to GS and Citi for IB, and we don't even offer courses like intro finance or accounting. You don't need to worry about them expecting you to have taken classes like that if not everyone is coming from a business background.
