What should I do as a student

I’m entering a target uni in Switzerland in September for bachelors in economics and I want to get into investment banking. What should I be doing right now to maximise my chances of getting an offer in ib. I’m currently doing an internship at a startup where I’m writing reports and PowerPoints on the valuation of peers in the market. What should I be doing in college and before that to prepare for ib?

 

If you're just now entering uni and already scored an internship I'd say you're well underway to a couple of offers in the future.

Only things I would add are some more extracurriculars (board years, committee's, student council etc.) or just write a blog.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself and just try to get above-above average grades. Should be fine
