I just accepted an offer for an MBB internship, and my end goal is PE. I come from a target school with a high 3.8 GPA and was wondering whether I will be able to get PE interviews wherever I want, and should be more focused on interview prep, or if I should continue to pad my resume with leadership and involvement at my school?
