Better linkedin Header

What would be a better Linkedin header in terms of getting 2nd or 3rd connections to maybe look at my profile?

Student at Ivy/Stanford/MIT/UChic/Duke
OR
Investment Banking intern at (insert relatively unknown boutique/MM bank here)

I'm a rising junior looking to get into BB IBD next year.

I'm going to go with the intern option because I think it shows that you are actually in and interested in the industry. "Student at Harvard" could mean you major in plenty of other things.

Just don't make your header "ambitious intern" or "smart minded student" or anything retarded like that. I hate those people

Haha, what, you don't like seeing "Monique Johnson - Driven, analytical thinker with a passion for business" pop up during your LinkedIn searches?
I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
