Searching for internships

Rank: Senior Chimp |

Hello Everyone,

I am a current junior at a target school in the Northeast and I am applying for summer internships. I am interested in hedge funds and what they have to offer, but applying to one and finding them is not as easy as the big banks. I was wondering if anyone could give me a few tips on the process and any advice if you have experience at a hedge fund.
