Best summer experience for an international student

Hello,

I am a junior student of Business Administration with finance concentration from Greece.

I am first in my department with a GPA of 9.3/10 and having some academic research experience and some volunteer but no working experience yet.

My target is to break into investment banking in US or London and in the short term I am focusing to do my best in order to be accepted in a master in finance program from a target business school in US.

As my location (Greece), makes very difficult for me the procedure of networking I really need to spent some time in a major financial hub like NY or London if I want to get a good internship.

What do you believe that I should do this summer?

Some options are:

Columbia (or) Harvard Summer School

New York School of Finance

I am looking foreword for your advice.

I hope you typed that up at least once in your life instead of copying and pasting it from someone else.

Either way... Silver banana!
