Thank you for your advice! I want to ask if as a international student with foreign banking internship, and going into business analysis master program, is it better to apply for the summer program or the new analyst program? Thank you very much in advance!

It'll be easier to apply for the summer role, but it ultimately depends on your timeline. If you were to do a summer stint, that would start in June and go through August, with a full-time start date of June the next year (granted you got the return offer). If you went FT, then you'd just start in June regardless. FT recruiting is much harder to do, especially if you haven't had any deal execution work to speak to. If you have, then great! Keep in mind for FT recruiting: banks assume you're already coming in with a great deal of knowledge and should be able to do the job day 1 (you'll go through training of course, just thinking from their perspective). May have been a lot to answer, but I'd go with applying for a SA role, especially if you think you want to be in this for more than just an analyst stint.
