I think you should apply everywhere and then talk about options if/when you get offers- these are not places you will walk in to and should expect to receive offers at, unless there is something exceptional about your application that I'm obviously unaware of.

 

I hear you're an investment banker at Brewster Keegan.

Uh, this is actually a two-part question. I'm applying for a summer internship at Brewster Keegan, and I was wondering a) what it's like being an investment banker and b) if you would write me recommendation.

 

Ouch. I was hoping I didnt have to brag about my background to be taken seriously. But if it helps... Oxbridge education, MBB internships and a few other things.

I am rather new to finance, so sorry if those questions are too basic for some. BX I can evaluate from a US perspective, but don't know how the UK office compares with this. Sankaty does not provide that much info, so I hope the questions are valid.

Thanks for the helpful responses.

this is like saying all Harvard kids go to MS/GS/BX.
 

Who gives a flying fuck if you went to Oxbridge. Seems hilarious you think you can brag about that, LOL!

Hey,
I am currently applying for the above internships and would like to request some help prioritizing.

Prioritize being less of a tool. You have to understand that people get tired of all of these threads asking about choosing between numerous top firms without offers.
