I'm looking into applying for sophomore programs for investment banking. Are there any non-diversity programs available to underclassmen? Is it worth applying and going through the recruiting process for these banks? My previous internship experience includes a summer intern role in PWM.

what was you previous pwm experience?
You can do it. Network. That is the key. I got into a non-diversity sophomore program without any prior finance experience. It can be done.
@Tychee, it was a PWM summer internship at a Bulge Bracket firm (MS, UBS, ML, etc.)
@APAE what are some non-diversity sophomore programs that I can look into?
