I'm currently a sophomore at McGill and I'm majoring in Finance with a concentration in Business Analytics. I'm quite interested in Investment Banking. I have a 4.0 CGPA currently, but my extracurriculars aren't extremely strong (not non-existent, but not as strong as I'd like). I do have prior experience in a wealth management firm. What do you think the likelihood is that I'd be able to land an internship in New York given my situation? Any tips given McGill isn't generally a target school for American firms?
