Sophomore internships in Hong Kong

Hi,

I am currently a rising sophomore who is studying at a Umich Ross. Although my primary residence is in Hong Kong, I only have a regular ID card instead of the permanent one. My gpa is around 3.6 as of now, hoping to get it higher. Besides that, the only thing noteworthy is that I am bilingual (Korean and English fluently) with conversational mandarin.

I believe I had to create this forum because despite all the searches, there was none that was relevant to sophomore internships in Hong Kong. To better prepare myself for next summer, I would like to know everyone's advice regarding

  • What are some of the regional/international boutiques in Hong Kong that have been friendly towards sophomore internships? If so, are they unpaid or paid?
  • My goal is to enter S&T. As such what type of internships should I pursue?
  • is Umich Ross considered a target in HK? (I know that it is in the states, but not sure about here)
