Summer Analyst 2020 Recruiting Thread

Decided to start this thread cause while I've been looking mostly at banking and recruiting there, the ultimate goal is to end up in PE, whether it be a larger fund or MM/lower MM. So wondering if recruiting for SA 2020 PE is completely over (obviously not expecting MF like Blackstone or KKR) or if there are still possible opportunities for me in MM PE funds.

Just some background, go to solid school (semi-target/target depending on who you ask), 3.88 GPA, commercial banking internship this summer (just finished sophomore year), TA for IT class that focuses on excel, as well as other business/academic/athletic related activities.

So if anyone has any info about this (i.e. do I have any hope or just continue recruiting for IB) would greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys and gals :)
