Search Fund Internship Freshman Summer?

Hey everyone,

I’m a rising sophomore who is thinking of taking a search fund internship for the summer. I’m trying to put myself in a good place for IB recruiting (really trying to get a BB SA offer either sophomore or junior summer), so I was wondering how useful/helpful a search fund internship would be. I have a 3.8 GPA at a target (Ivy League) school, but am not part of any investment clubs on campus (planning on applying in the fall). What should I do from this point on to maximize my chances of getting an internship, and what should I aim for my sophomore summer?

thanks!
