Advice for a soph
Right now, I have a 3.7 GPA, but I'm a bit worried that it'll drop off to a 3.6 after this semester. Going to really try to finish the semester with a 3.7, but we'll see.
I'm a sophomore at a HYP. I have no internship yet for the summer. Tomorrow, I'm going to hit up a ton of boutique banks and asset management firms and apply to some places, and I've been actively trying to do this all the time. I've applied to the diversity programs, some small hedge funds, etc. No luck yet, but I'll keep applying.
I have a part-time job at Berkshire Hathaway realtors, so maybe I can somehow spin that as investing interest or experience. And I had a short internship at an education start up my freshman year.
So what should I do, just keep at it? Is junior year BB IB possible if I don't get something decent this summer?
ur at HYP with a 3.5+? "study abroad" over the summer and wait for goldman stanley to come begging
Focus on maintaining your GPA and don't stress about sophomore internships. I found an Asset Management internship in February of sophomore year that paid terribly, but probably helped land BB interviews.. something will come together for you. You could also "study abroad" and it wouldn't matter.
Ok good to hear. So I guess I'll just keep looking and hopefully find something, and if not just try to do something "interesting."
Do you know any alumni? If so, hit them up and network around.
Like Apollo said, don't stress and focus on your GPA.
