^^ also don't forget to email everyone with the title "investment banking associate" on linkedin (make sure to add everybody to the same email chain, if this even needed to be said).  if you don't, you'll be behind by the time u get on campus. 

 

You think this is a joke? You think I’m not being serious? I eat non hardcore SAs like you for in-office lunch. Must be a non-target.

skip the clubs. start cold emailing mds at 4am from your dorm. tell them you already run a personal book of 8 lbos on the side and your girlfriend is your analyst.
