I’m Sure you did something interesting, and your 4.0 is definitely a plus. Just sell yourself and find a good reason why you want to do banking. Maybe you discovered it late (hence the lack of experience), but now you’re committed to pursuing it. I always talk about working in a restaurant during interviews even though I have finance experience. Actually lots of interviewers love it since many have done so themselves. Also I’m assuming you’re in your second year, so lack of finance experience isn’t a big deal. Just articulate why you’re interested in finance now.

 

Hoya Saxa! I am a Georgetown student right now, and I know a lot of people who have done the finance recruiting process.  I would say leadership and EC's are helpful, but don't worry what you cannot control at this point.  Georgetown is a great school for BB recruiting so use the alumni resources as well as the career center.  I would apply to BB's and also some MM banks as well.

 

Try to get on the board of a nonprofit - it might balance things out. Or maybe join a club. What do you like to do?

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
