Worth it to pass the SEI exam?

Rising freshman, I start school soon. I have a few internships lined up next summer, possibly: intuit / GA . How good does it look on your resume when it comes time to apply for these summer analyst positions in IB?

Same answer as the guy on your post about techs but replace Rosenbaum with the SIE: “No, the fact that you're asking such a question is concerning tbh. Get a social life and build your EQ instead, it'll get you much farther than any Rosenbaum book could any get you at this stage”

 

this seems kinda dumb. Any successful person at some point sacrificed a bit of social life to get ahead in life. At some point its concerning, i.e., studying technicals every saturday night at 10pm, but like taking the sie isnt a terrible idea
