1st time SA in IBD--What should I be doing between now and June?

I'll be a soph SA at a BB in IBD this summer, and my first internship ever for that matter. My question is what should I be doing right now? I have applied for summer housing at nyu.

My main concern is what I should be doing in terms of group placement. My recruiter said I'll get a form later that will let me select my top choices for groups. I've read around on this forum that people usually try to network in order to get into their desired group. Should I be asking my recruiter to connect me with people right now in order to be put in a favorable group this summer? Thanks for all your input.

 

In no particular order: - Getting laid - Sleeping - Getting wasted and watching grass grow - Watching daytime TV

You'll be missing doing those things once the internship gets into the full swing.


Just my 2c.
