2027 SA Megathread

I know it's really early but thought I'd get this started for us to keep each other updated given how early/fast the 2026 SA thread got posted. My friend’s nephew hasn’t started networking yet but he is reaching out to boutique IBs to secure an internship the summer before HS senior year so he’s competitive for club recruiting and 2026 early bird SA programs. Curious to hear where others are in the process in terms of networking, interview prep, and potential 1st rounds
