What Are My Chances? Freshman in High School SERIOUS INQUIRY

Hey Guys,

Been pretty scared lately hearing from kids in my high school about how tough it is to get into banking these days. My goal is to get into a pretty solid school, but I feel as though it would be helpful to start the process now. Trying to launch the networking process now and get a banking internship before my sophomore year of high school. Do you guys have any tips for someone like me? Just as an FYI:

I have gotten an A in intro to geometry, A- in social studies, A- in reading, and a B+ gym class. How can I put all this into a good resume to blast out to analysts?

You're overthinking it, but the first step to getting into ibanking is getting into a target school. That'll make it a million times easier. So get good grades, be involved, try and play college sports if you're a gifted athlete, and generally try and get into the best college you can.

 

Jesus Christ worry about getting your drivers license and getting laid. JFC a career that is damn near 10 years out should be one of the least of your concerns.
