Summer 2025 Sophomore Internships
I am currently a rising Sophomore at a non-target and I have an internship at an M&A firm for this summer, which lets me do deal sourcing and valuation. I am also currently learning my technicals and how to use excel with online courses.
I've noticed a few places like BofA and MS had Sophomore specific internships for 2025. I've applied for the BofA one, but missed the MS deadline unfortunately.
Does anyone know of any other opportunities in IB or related field for summer 2025 that is open for people graduating in 2027. I know that 2026 opportunities will start opening up later this year and earlier next year for junior year internships, but I am worried about what I can get next summer.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights and suggestions for securing internships for Summer 2025 as a rising sophomore:

Howd you get your current m&a internship
I'm part of a consulting club at my school, and my project manager used to work there and he told me to apply. The interview was a bit different being a case interview instead of the traditional technical and behavioral meetings, but still managed to get it.
Unless you're diversity it will be hard to place sophomore summer at BB banks. Try to network at smaller firms in your area or around wherever you want to be for the summer. Tbh it's better to just prep for junior summer for the most part, tons of kids get junior summer offers before/without a sophomore summer gig.
I go to a non-target school, and my school essentially doesn't have an alumni network. Do you know how I would get around this for networking for the Junior summer offers once the SA 2026 applications open up for BB and EBs?
