Planning ahead for an internship
I am going to be a junior this fall at the university of nebraska and I am majoring in finance. Next summer I have a goal of finding an internship in investment banking. Currently I have a 3.36 GPA which I understand is not great, but how important are other factors like the fact that I am the treasurer for my fraternity. Also what is the best resource to learn about potential internship possibilities since obviously nebraska is not a top tier business school. Any help or recommendations or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
That is a low GPA at a non target school.... You should bump your GPA up significantly and contact alumni in the business, but there probably aren't that many. Look for regional middle market banks. There is a thread on these forums with a lot of them. Good luck.
Agreed with masterg. Target middle-markets that are regional. Look around on the internet or in city directories in the area.
You have to realize that things like being treasurer for a fraternity, or president of a club are things that many people at top Ivy's also do, so they aren't that significant in and of themselves.
by looking for a regional firm(once I find the list) would it say on their website about internship programs or would I have to call them to figure it out? Also I am not trying to limit myself to just investment banking, I am also interested in Mergers and Acquisitions as well. Is there a high probability given my GPA which will rise to above a 3.4 after this summer and fall that I should be able to obtain a regional internship next summer?
just call them or email them.
And Mergers & Acquisitions is Investment Banking.
can anyone recommend any banks to look into located in the midwest in cities such as Chicago, Denver, or Kansas City to name just a few.
Wisconsin has a bank Baird. Check out Milwaukee. They have a $10 billion hedge fund there, as well as Baird, and the Northwestern Mutual Insurance Company has a Private Equity arm.
Just bump your GPA to 3.6, look for internships in Texas. At least people will know Nebraska there via the UT football connection.
By the way, are girls HOT in Nebraska? I always thought, never been there.
