College Student Soliciting Advice

Hi everyone,

Quick intro - rising junior at Bryant University in Rhode Island, finance major with 3.9-4.0 GPA and plenty of extracurriculars/leadership experience. After my freshman year I worked at a small investment company and currently am a leadership development program intern at a F500. Despite recent rankings, I am fully aware that Bryant is not considered a "top tier" undergraduate b-school by any means. Nevertheless, I do have hopes of getting into a top-tier MBA program a few years down the road. Next summer I am trying to "shoot for the stars" if you will when applying for internships. I have a few connections at Goldman, Bridgewater, Credit Suisse, SAC Capital, and a large PE firm that I could leverage.

Just looking for some insight regarding working at places similar to these as well as the consulting field (not tremendously familiar with it). Also, advice pertaining to getting into those top tier MBA programs.

Thanks.
