Off-cycle M&A internship

Hi,

I finished my Ba from a non-target uni. And I'm planning to do an M&A off-cycle internship at a BB. Before my Master. Think MS,GS,ML,JPM. I know that it's pretty hard to get in. Fortunately, I know people that work there with a high position. Think head of region, head of a certain region m&a or some sort of Chief of something . I've met with them and they sent my resume to HR mentioning that I have the right profile for the internship. My question is, do you think that Hr could refuse my appllication concidering who sent them my resume ?

Thank you for your answers

if someone is in a similar situation and is following this - i didn't get the internship. maybe more luck next time...

 

Your first concern should be getting out of Germany. That place is a sh*t whole filled with weaklings. Doom is near.

Second thought is that you should always send thank you notes. To everyone. 3-4 days is usually the absolute latest.

God save Germany.

Let me hear you say, this shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
 

Got any other internship offers? Didn't think so. Take it then and don't worry about the pay you'll be getting for 3 / 4 months of your life.
