For sophomore internships in investment banking, the timeline for applications can vary, but generally, they start to open up in the fall of the year prior to the internship. For example, for summer 2021 internships, some banks began their recruitment process as early as February 2020, while others started a bit later.

Regarding banks that offer sophomore internships, here are some details based on the WSO dataset:

  1. Goldman Sachs offers a Summer Analyst Program that is open to sophomores. This program includes divisions such as Investment Banking Division (IBD) and Securities (S&T).

  2. Deutsche Bank has the DB Achieve Program which is specifically designed for sophomores and includes opportunities in Investment Banking, Markets, Asset & Wealth Management.

  3. J.P. Morgan offers the CIB Launching Leaders Program which targets sophomores among other groups.

These programs are particularly structured to include diverse candidates, so being a diversity candidate, you would find these programs aligned with your needs. Make sure to check each bank's website for the most accurate and updated information regarding application deadlines and program specifics.
