Help: Applying for Goldman Sachs Entry-Level Analyst position

Goldman Sachs just opened up their application for 2017 summer and full-time analyst last Friday.

I'm currently a senior in my last year from a non-target in the southeast. My GPA is 3.6. I have had three finance internships, one with a BB, along with several leadership experiences.

What can I do to boost my chances? I feel like submitting my application online just won't cut it. I was thinking of reaching out to my university alumni who are currently working at GS, but I don't know how to approach them.

 

Just contact them on LinkedIn and say that you'd like to learn more about their firm and their work. Alternatively, see if your career center can put you in touch with anyone who works there.
