Bulge Bracket Internship Possible?

Hey all,

Wanted to open a forum to get people's opinions on getting a bulge bracket internship coming from a school like Fordham. Is it possible in anyway to get one after your sophomore year? What kind of stuff do you need, besides networking your ass off, to be considered?

Thanks

from a non target, very very difficult. Focus on boutiques (maybe MM's if you're lucky). A boutique internship after sophomore year will set you up fairly well for a BB internship junior year.
