Asked for an info interview, he's asking for my resume?

I'm a sophomore majoring in economics at a non-target state university. Contacted an associate at a boutique investment bank in my area asking for an informational interview. He replied back asking for my resume... Is this a good sign?

I'm worried that he thinks this is just a "cold call for an internship" type of thing. While a summer internship is my final goal, I really want to get to know the associate, the day-to-day workings of the firm, and what I can do to get started on that track (seeing as I don't have any practical experience in IB).

Any info appreciated.

Hmm, I sent him the resume. He replied back telling me that he sent my resume to the recruiting coordinator! Now I'm not sure if I should tell him that all I wanted was to have a discussion with him about the nature of his work and the tools investment bankers use. Or should I just let it slide and take my chances?
