Absolutely.
The fact that you are thinking about this in HS senior makes you ahead 90% of your peers
@Mr.Saxman: I'm a current freshman who landed an internship at Wells Fargo this past summer :)
At a certain point (and I'm sure some of you will try to argue with this) experience doesn't mean anything. It can get you in the door to an interview, but someone who interns at WF summer after sophomore year isn't going to be brought down by their experience compared to someone who does 3 finance internships starting as a high school senior. You are 17 or 18 years old - have fun and do something non-finance related. If you can't talk about how you are interesting and unique in an interview you aren't going to get an IBD offer anyways. Too many kids on here are too focused on doing everything and anything to learn about and have as much finance experience as possible, and then when it comes down to an interview they bomb it because they have no personality and nothing to speak to except their supposed financial expertise (which is going to be very little regardless of how many internships you have).
Couldn't agree more with Black Jack. This summer do something fun. After my senior year in HS and freshman year in college I went to the cape with my friends, rented a house for the summer got menial jobs and had a blast. You have plenty of time to figure out your life. After this year try and get a few buddies of yours to rent a house on the cape or MV or some beach where ever you live, drunk off corona and chase local poon. There s no better feeling in the world than just relaxing on the beach all summer doing menial jobs. It won't boost your resume but it'll give you some amazing stories and shit to talk about besides finance when you're stuck in the office until 3am. Enjoy your last summer before shit gets real, have FUN, get drunk and laid.

The fact that you could get such a position and that you've had the presence of mind to try to get those internships really puts you ahead. I do agree with Black Jack to an extent, though. If you are passionate about finance, then go for it. But don't let it interrupt your social life/fun in your last summer before college. There will be plenty of internship chances later on.
