Sophomore

Hey everyone,

I am a sophomore minority (not under-represented) from a target school with a 3.8+. I have solid work experience, and I intend on applying to all BB's in HK this summer. I want to apply for IB, but I don't know if that's reasonable at all. Anyone have any insight?

btw- I know two people personally who got S&T in HK sophomore summer (with a lower GPA, no connections).

Also, if I get rejected everywhere, would I still be able to apply to maybe PWM or AM in the states?

sadly i think even freshman have to worry about getting internships nowadays... you need that first internship to get you to the next internship the subsequent summer. I was fortunate enough to secure a very solid internship during my sophomore year that gave me a big leg up on my peers.
