Some BBs offer pre-internship insight programs for freshmen that last a few days (typically around 3-5 in my area)
They are selective, though I don't know exactly how much - though I know quite a few that got rejected. They usually have a few investment banking case studies, some presentations, and very brief work "shadowing" experience, where you basically watch what a few associates do for a day or two.
I have the option to mention a line on one of these in my resume, but I'd have to take off a minor extracurricular club (non-finance related).
Is it worth it? Or does it look like I'm "scraping the barrel"?
FYI it's basically this: http://careers.jpmorgan.com/student/jpmorgan/careers/springweek/ibandri…
Do you have a leadership role in the club? Do you have a solid internship for this summer? If the answer to both is "no" then I'd put the program on your resume.
I have both. But it's more of an empty leadership role, since I didn't do anything hugely significant. If I have both of what you said, the program isn't even worth a line?
It's worth it if you can make room. And re: clubs. Some people love then, some people don't give a shit and view them as padding.
These kind of programs normally attract 5000-6000 applicants for BBs. Most of them select up to 100 (so among 2% acceptance rate). Why wouldn´t you include that?
This. Especially if you're a non-finance major. It adds to your story.
Yeah if your a freshman with out too much work experience I'd definitely add it. Like above poster said, these take only 100 or so kids out of the thousands who apply so it can't hurt. I'd also include it if you're applying to the bank where you attended the program. But if you need to take valuable stuff off to make room for it then I probabaly wouldn't.
.
Grad level? no.
Undergrad I'd just put it in as a dash somewhere.
Yes, milk it and make it sound amazing even if it is just sitting in the office listening to presentations.
The more big names you have on your CV the better.
Also you don't have to remove an entire extra curricular for this, its just a line on the CV. Increase your margins, or reduce your font, or reduce a sentence elsewhere (I can guarantee you can find space, if not, try harder).
