Possible Networking chance with GS Bigshot

Here's the gist, my dad did a deal with GS recently and has been in contact with GS management, how do I leverage that into a possible future internship?

Note: I'm at a non target, freshman and still working on that resume.

“Easily the most helpful mentor and favorite person I have worked with by far. Was extremely responsive in the slack messaging, working around me, asked for some of my past materials so that he could prepare beforehand, and during the call, really helped walk through everything I was struggling with. Ultimately, came out of the call significantly more prepared and confident then beforehand. Michael was an overall excellent head mentor, and I am super excited to work with him in the future as well. ”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“he did really good. he was very thoughtful and we worked through a question then feedback format as it was my first mock. I really enjoyed talking to him as he was very knowledgable and, as it was my first mock we sort of were understanding how it really flows. But for some topics that i struggled on, he knew how to tailor it in a way that I could understand and ultimately made me more knowledgable overall. I guess sometimes he wasn't as engaged with my answers but still took notes which was nice of him”

Meh. That could get dicey. Don't want to fuck with your dads paper stacks. If your pops had a casual relationship with a higher up you could pursue that but this is a different issue entirely. I mean, your options are push for it or don't. Why don't you ask your dad? He obviously has his shit together.
