Best Time to Apply for an Internship?

Graduate School Business School - MBA

<p>I'm thinking about a banking or consulting related internship sometime in the future. I've been observing that a lot of summer internships happen during the summer after sophomore year (or at least, a lot of <em>first</em> summer internships). When is usually the best time to apply for a business internship, and why? If it helps any, I'll be matriculating to a school that's extremely flexible with taking semesters off, though I don't know if such internships really accept students during the off-summer.</p>

<p>I apologize if this has already been asked before.</p>

<p>Usually the summer after sophomore and junior year is the time for internships. Juniors have it relatively the easiest for intern hunting as they are the prime targets of most companies , they have already been through a lot in the curriculum and will be looking for full-time very soon.
Semester internships are extremely common and often prefer sophomores or even freshman as they have more time to do multiple internships with the same organization.
My advice would be to apply for internships right of the bat , once you get an internship it just gets easier getting internships for the next summer and so on , your best shot would be summer of sophomore year and onwards but freshman often land internships for the summer but dont feel too disappointed if you don’t get anything.</p>

<p>It is very importiant to know that you may find internship which is not during the summer (you have to of course combine this somehow with your studies). It is much easier to get this kind of internship, as the competition is not that great. </p>

<p>If I were to look for an internship now, I would go for it but not during the summer. This is the best option if you want to get to very presigous organisation. </p>
