Blackstone - UG Summer Intern

Do they even do this for Private Equity Division?

UG Class of 08 @ an Ivy here, with not so good gpa (3.6), but 2 previous internships. One at very good PE / alternative firm (they took 1/119 apps, will only hire full-time after 2+yrs BB experience though ), And the other in consulting.

From a Non-Core Ivy however, meaning no on campus recruitment, worth it to send a resume / CL? / Any chance?

I've heard BS won't usually interview you unless you're gpa is above 3.8-3.9... they are just too small and have so few slots. that said, they get hundreds of 3.8-4.0's. So gpa is only 1 thing they look at.

Also, I don't really see the hype. Other places are just as good to start out... Goldman, Morgan.
