I think obtaining a Blackstone summer analyst position, especially as a sophomore in their PE arm, is highly unlikely. Even if you are at Wharton.

You're better off talking to people at your school, WSO doesn't have many people who would even have a shot at that type of internship so early in their career. Good luck.

 

hi! i'm going to have mine this Thursday :) Any advice? Should I expect something more technical or behavioral for the first round? Thanks!!

 

I hate people that post "has anyone heard back" or "who else got an offer" kind of bullshit on WSO. It reeks of college adolescence and unprofessionalism. Act like you've been there before even if you haven't.
