Do I stand a chance for 2025 IB/HF junior internship recruitment?

BE BRUTALLY HONEST.

I have a 3.6 GPA and am majoring in business + math at UC Berkeley. I am currently a sophomore, having completed an off-cycle WM internship at a BB in my freshman year. I have signed an offer for a portfolio management internship at an investment boutique ($40-50b AUM) in the Midwest for this upcoming summer. I am about to start recruiting for 2025 summer internships and I want to know: do I stand a chance recruiting for the best (i.e most prestigious) firms in IB/HF/PE (e.g GS, P72, etc.)? Based on reading the LinkedIn's of kids that intern at these firms, I'm guessing that the answer is "no", but your guys' answer to this question will help me decide how to distribute my recruiting time between consulting, finance, and biztech/product management. Thank you.

P.S if you're reading this post and recognize me, send me a message on LinkedIn and let's do this recruiting BS together.

 

You have nothing to lose. What are you going to do, not even try because some online rando said you wouldn't make it?
