Was lucky to secure an internship at a boutique investment bank for this coming fall. Was wondering if anyone had any advice/tips on how they managed to perform well in their internships without jeopardizing their semester GPA?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Did a similar thing in spring. It really varies on how chill the people at your workplace are and what your courseload looks like. Other than that, try to make it a routine. Try and adjust as quickly as possible and you should be good to go. Make sure to mention when you have important dates for finals/midterms/huge projects if you know in advance just to notice your firm.
If they aren't paying you, then you should have plenty of leeway for school (unless your boss is a prick). If paid then you probably won't be getting much sleep this semester.

Any chance you can tell me which firm you interned at during the fall?
