High School Internships

Hey, I am a high school senior (16 yrs). I have been looking for internships at financial institutions for a while now, but haven't got any success. I wanted to know if firms like PwC or KPMG offer any internships to high school students? If not, can you recommend me some formal internship programs or any other informal internship opportunity with a medium sized financial institution?

I second this. To even get your foot in the door (aka in-person interview) you wanna have the best possible School, GPA, Connections, and Experience. Recruiters don’t expect any college undergrad to have any real utility, you get in on the job. So study (academically + interest in your profession such as following trends and knowing basic stuff) and then network
