I am kind of clueless. I am a sophomore and I don't know when I should start applying for summer internship roles. I know bulge brackets already started but those appear to be for juniors and seniors. So my question again is when should a sophomore start applying. Also, when should a sophomore start applying to boutique firms? Thanks

When do you apply for summer internships for the summer after sophomore year? (Originally Posted: 03/05/2018)
Hi all, I'm a freshman at a top 10 liberal arts college (not Williams or Amherst so pretty much a nontarget) , 3.9 GPA and want to go into IB then exit into PE or VC. I'm interning at a f500 company doing predictive analytics this summer.
My plan was to do predictive analytics internship(freshman year summer)-->BB/boutique/mm/PE/PWM (whatever I can get sophomore year summer)---> EB/BB junior year summer--> full time offer.
I had read online and been told by alumni and my schools career center that recruiting for summer analyst positions usually starts in the fall the year before however I just heard that applications for some BB 2019 summer analyst positions are already open. How am I supposed to apply and secure an internship for the summer after my sophomore year as a freshman who hasn't even completed my first internship yet? How does this affect my plan? Should I just give up on a BB internship for after sophomore year and try to land a regional boutique IB internship or a small PE internship and try to hopefully get an IB internship junior summer by applying the winter/spring of my sophomore year? Have I fallen off the 'track' already?!
Thanks.
toomuchcortisol, sorry there are no responses yet. Maybe one of these topics can point you in the right direction:

Hope that helps.
I'm in a similar situation (but a year behind you). From what I gather, most of the summer internships go to students after their junior year. Sophomore summer internships are much more rare from what I understand.
