If only it was that easy..
and the WSO community is "Seeking Some Effort"
LOL
If this is the most effort you are putting in, how did you get so many previous internships
Good luck out there.

It looks like you have more experience than anyone I know at your level. I have no clue how you fit 7 internships in college but it's impressive.
Intern during 3 summers and 4 semesters? Or winter breaks?
Indeed! very impressive!
Would love to hear how you managed so many internships
btw the CFA is frowned upon by IBD people in the US. So keep that in mind.
However, it is more highly regarded in other places. I know it's moderately well received in Canada.
Hate to sound like a dick dude, and kudos for trying to be creative, but the opportunities that match your qualifications that you seek will be filled by candidates who apply to and interview at banks, not post on WSO like this. That being said, good luck.
