is it ok to send out mass resumes?

You won't get anything as a freshmen anyways so it doesn't really matter.

Why're u bein so pissy stern monkey? Did Santa not give you the two testicles that you asked for?

SternMonkey speaks the truth.

ok i get it. But I did see lots of things with companies like Merrill Lynch for jobs like PWM, that specifically said that it is open for freshmans to apply. There was also a a program (not IB) at Bear Stearns that said freshmans are encouraged to apply.....

However, I see where u're coming from. But, do you think it is possible(realistic) for me to do something at smaller firms? Or am I still too young?

What are your stats/school?

I go to northwestern and have a 3.94/4.00 (obviously only after 1 semester).

any business classes, or just BS pre-reqs. Any relevent experience?

You may get a couple of looks from the BBs if you are a diversity candidate, but you will really have to leverage your networking skills to get an interview.

got a couple bus classes under my belt (intros) and pre reqs. As for networking, I know a guy who is high up at Morningstar. I know that's not that great, but hopefully it's better than nothing. As for skills, I am fluent (read/write/speak) in English, Spanish,Hindi, and Japanese.However, for Japanese I can only read.

You can do whatever you want... but as a freshman, is it really going to do anything to apply to all those? Generally you're going to need some kind of inside connection to have a shot when you're a freshman, and even if you get an internship a lot of the work will probably be BS anyway. You're welcome to try, but I would only seriously pursue it if you have or can get some good alumni connections, otherwise better to focus on getting some other good summer experience.

Are summer school programs worth it? I know a couple guys in IB right now that took finance/ accounting classes at places like LSE, Harvard, Wharton.
