Auburn University Student Seeking Career Advice

Good afternoon,

My name is Aidan and I am currently a freshman at Auburn University. I am majoring in Finance and I want to get into Investment Banking after I graduate. I have been networking with people at Auburn who share my interest in Investment Banking, and I am applying for a top-level Finance group at the University. I have also taken some free modeling courses wherever I can find them. I know there is a lot more that I could be doing during this time in order to increase my chances of getting an Investment Banking job after graduation, but I don't really know where to start. What can I do right now so I can be on the right path toward my goals in the future? Thank you for your time, I look forward to seeing what you all have to say!

Best,

Aidan
