Hi,
I'm a rising senior at a semi-target and currently working as a corporate finance intern at a smaller bank. I have an ok GPA (around a 3.7) and limited club experience. Is it possible for me to get a full time IB offer, or am I cooked? Also, would studying and passing CFA level 1 this summer be of any benefit? Or is networking everything?
