Coffee with MD

Hey all,

I’m currently an undergrad student with a 3.6 GPA with a summer internship at one of the largest insurance companies(Aon,Marsh, Prudential). I have a targeted graduation date of December 2025. I have an upcoming networking call with an MD at a regional LMM Boutique bank. I wanted to ask you guys how could I make an impression to possibly get a summer internship. Reneging the insurance internship. Or potentially a fall off-cycle internship to gain experience help me gain experience in banking.

Also I have been networking for SA 2025 had coffee chats with bankers and interviews no offers though. My attention has turned to gaining experience at regional banks and positioning myself for FT recruitment at larger boutiques(not EB)

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
