Freshman IB offer

Suppose a freshman does an analyst internship that’s ACTUAL investment banking. How much of a leg up is this for sophomore year recruiting. Everyone says freshman year internships don’t matter, but think about this. Before sophomore year recruiting, there are 2 WHOLE summers to stack up VC, PE, HF, and huge AUM AM over ur HS senior summer and ur freshman summer. I would imagine having some lofty accomplishments to back up your mastery of technicals and behaviorals would come clutch. If I saw a non target with a freshman IB gig vs some target doing nothings, it’s the first one no brainer. While you’re at it, I be super scoring ACT to a 36, yes not that hard to do if your at the 34-35 range will impress a lot of HR too. I feel like this whole recruitment process theoretically could be kicked back 2 years, where your freshman and hs senior summers pad ur resume for eventually when you recruit.

Those are just my thoughts tho. Obviously don’t be a hardo and HAVE FUN. This is just something I was curious about.
