I just received and accepted an internship offer from a BB. I come from a non-target so this is huge for me. I have to say though the advice on this website helped me tons. It answered my stupid questions so that I didn't look like an idiot when I got the chance to talk to bankers. It sounds stupid but networking is without a doubt the best thing you can do. Start early and you'll make it.

“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Congrats!
Congrats, now turn that internship into a FT offer.
How much of a non-target did you go to? What was your major/GPA?
How do you suggest one make the "ask" when networking, to be direct about it or not, and when to make the ask?
Thanks.
Congrats!!!
For the rest of us recruiting, what did you do to study? Did you focus on WSO and M&I 400 guides? Any other tips and pieces of advice would be much appreciate. Thanks
Congrats!
