Internships or General Experience before Submitting IBD SA Applications

Hey everyone,

I'm interested to learn about other people's internship experience prior to submitting their first set of applications to IBD programs. For reference, this summer I'm doing an internship that involves financial modeling at a firm that is by no means a bank, and I'm interested in IBD for next summer. Thanks!
