I was wondering about how summer analyst positions work for kids at quarter system schools. Most summer analyst programs start the first week of June, but quarter system schools typically don't finish finals until the second week of June. Targets on the quarter system would include the likes of Stanford, UChicago, Dartmouth. Does anybody have experience with this?

Just do your finals early, you should have plenty of time to work it out with your profs. Sometimes banks have 2 start dates as well.
For SA you’ll either have staggered start dates and join the second grouping of interns, or if that’s not an option then you’ll have to skip classes and take finals early like I did. Having to leave early fucking blows, but there's not really a way around it. Skipping senior week before starting FT sucked even more.
Summer Analyst/ Internship, Quarter System? (Originally Posted: 03/24/2010)
Let's just ASSUME that I could get any investment banking/financial services summer analyst position out there, particularly on Wall Street. My school runs on the quarter system, and we don't get out for summer break until late June. Do you know of any of the major firms that takes interns from the quarter system, because for the most part, it looks like most of these positions begin in early June. Please leave a list of any firms you have heard of that take interns from the quarter system. Help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
BB's definitely recruit from quarter system schools (Stanford, UChicago, Dartmouth, Northwestern, etc.)
Yeah, BB's are very accommodating and the MM firms I've encountered don't seem to mind either.
which school?
Nope- past summer I started during finals week (boutique IB), and this summer I will start during finals week again (BB). Not too accommodating, only if you want to skip training (1st week). You have the option to, but I highly recommend against it. However, I know not all BB's start the same date, mine is just unfortunately one of those that start earlier. I'm from a school in the midwest on qtr system
