How to Leverage Good Freshman Summer Internship For Sophomore Summer??

I will be interning for a well known PE firm this summer. I hope this experience allows for me to secure an above average firm for sopohomore summer.

Am I mistaken in expecting this and how should I proceed in obtaining this?

Am from a target and have a solid GPA as well.

Hey doggie23, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
