I don't know why you'd go to BB banking during your second summer. Elaborate?
Also -- the summer classes at MBB are small compared to the full-time classes, so I wouldn't bank on getting an internship there.
Yes, interning at Deloitte means a sophomore year BB internship and an MBB summer internship are sure things.

I've seen two paths into MBB.
1) Something along the lines you've described, every summer working at some super-competitive not-fun job like Deloitte or a BB. This requires you to be an absolute rockstar there since most people choose this path, and very few end up making it into MBB.
2) Do something totally different and unrelated to business, MBB doesn't care if you don't know shit about business anyway. Volunteering at Habitat for Humanity doesn't count. Do something truly unique and super interesting and cool, and do it well. These people seem to place just as well and they had way more fun to boot.

Do something more interesting the summer before sophomore year. I am sure you can find something competitive/exciting that isn't so business centered. You don't want to 'burn out' by spending every summer in an office while your friends slay bitches.

i'ts not challenging to get into MBB if you're coming out of HYP so I wouldn't stress too much... just make sure not to loose focus on your GPA. High GPA + HYP and you'll get an offer.

You can definitely get recruited with a 3.5-3.6 if you're strong in other areas (i.e. test scores, extracurriculars, name brand internship) and you're not a douchenozzle. Deloitte is fine for a sophomore summer, and banking is fine for a junior summer...of the ~20 BA/A/ACs in my office, a couple worked in banking, 1 interned at another MBB firm, a few were at boutique firms. Most of us didn't do IB or consulting internships though.

Good plan, but its not a sure shot guarantee for MBB, so still put in your work. Ive seen ppl who had deloitte and goldman on their resume not get in.
Thanks man, I'll try my best!
