Hi fellow monkeys ! I was wondering whether I stand any chance when applying for a BB/EB internship in London , given that I attend University of Amsterdam , but with a good GPA and previous IB internship at a BB in Eastern Europe. Thanks!

Sure, why not? Plenty of internationals get internships at top banks in London.
Thanks for your input! What do you personally think matters more - experience at a BB or the school you attend for a SA (2nd year of uni) ?
I got my internship because of my work experience, not because of the school I attend. I know others who got it primarily because of where they go to school. So there is no clear answer to that - it's all about how your profile is as a whole.
Are you Dutch? Last time I checked a few banks were looking for Dutch speakers so if you are, you're in luck
No , I'm not Dutch , but still from the EU. Do you think Italian would add a lot of value ?
Yes JPMorgan has several internships in Milan...can't hurt
It’s plenty of Italian speakers in Banking.........
Yes it would! There are lots of Italians in London adding value to business. Siamo ovunque
