Funniest

lmao ur talking shit as a freshman. Cant wait for you not to get a return offer because youre clearly an android that has 0 social skills. Cant imagine daddys reactions when his own son gets rejected at the firm where he is an MD. See you at McDonalds bro 

 

Relax guys, you’re both doing jobs that a rhesus monkey could be trained to do, just exorbitantly overpaid for it. Matter of fact most ppl on  (including myself) are lol.

Quick summary, average past 1-3 years:

6 Barclays

6 UBS

4 DB

8 Citi

2-4 GS

3 JPM ( no chance if you're not diverse)

1 MS (no chance if you're not diverse)

1-2 BofA (almost no chance if you're not diverse)

2 CVP

~2 Moelis/Laz Boston

At least 3 dozen between MMs

From what my younger classmates told me, there were ~50 *well qualified* students gunning for IB when recruiting started to ramp up. This includes people who cant network or interview for shit. After the IB hype passes around the sophomore class, usually at least 50-100 more decide to toss their hat into the ring, which are the instances of people that you hear striking out.

Statistically speaking, 1-2 total to NY EB annually. However, it's pretty easy to network yourself into the process if you are a strong student and come prepared, and BC seems to be a respected name. Unlike the BBs above, there is no "we can only take 6 BC kids" from the EBs, you're simply placed into a group with other non-targets, which can arguably be better. 

Get a freshman/sophomore LMM boutique internship, have a 3.8+, network and interview well (read: Don't be socially awkward), be involved on campus and EB/top MM / Barc/UBS/DB should be easy. Our GS recruiting is run by one woman and it's a totally messed up system. Other BBs will always be a crapshoot for BC. Between the BC name and our various associates+ across the street at random shops even where we don't have an alumni network (Allen, Solomon, Moe, GHL), you really should be fine - just need to put in the work and it should be guaranteed. The only way you screw up is by only networking (and not even doing it well) with firms where we have a capped number of spots like UBS, or by being a weak candidate. 

We also have a banking club that will handhold you through the entire process (resume, networking, technicals, behaviorals, how to dress, etc.) that has become competitive, but again, if you're a strong candidate you're pretty much guaranteed a spot and with the exception of Barclays, it's not like IU Kelley where it's a club specific pipeline. 

 

How should I go about getting a LMM boutique internship freshman year?
