I will be applying for summer 2012 internships for equity researchcovering the aerospace and defense sector.
My gameplan is to mail out a copy of my resume, cover letter, transcript, and a few projects in my portfolio (on a CD) to the head analyst of that particular group.
I'll follow up with them after they've received my package, and then go from there. There are 3 companies in the DC area which have research groups covering A&D.
Feedback is welcome.

Personally, would not open a CD from a random person.
Search around WSO, there is great advice on networking
good point... no CD then :)
While you're at it, throw in your favorite episode of Family Guy and a few high-res nudes of your gf on there. If she's not a grenade, you are guaranteed a first round interview.
good luck finding ER jobs in DC. WTF??
On a CD?!! Might as well put it on a floppy disk, or a laser disk maybe?
Why not just attach them to an email? If you zip it, it shouldn't be too large.
I'll think I'll save that stuff for later. I'm just going to send a resume and cover letter for now.
