Goldman Sachs Scholarship for Excellence (Soph-Juniors) URM/SEO

Now that you have the opportunity, nothing's stopping you. Start faxing those resumes.

(There are also Nomura and Barcap's scholarships for Japan near this time).

Advice on the short GS cover letter: Think Hemingway, cut out the crap, and be very objective.

Cheers,
