<p>I am a junior is new jersey. I have a 3.7 gpa. Can anyone give me ideas for a prestigious internship that would impress colleges and that I have chance for. I asked my school but my school is stupid and dont have a list of interships. any idea?</p>
<p>Do you have a career center on campus?</p>
<p>Ask one of your professors to see if they have any contacts to NY.</p>
<p>You have a strong GPA and with your proximity, you can easily get access to the big firms on Wall St. Now the question is who you know.</p>
<p>edit:
Are you in college or high school? If you are still in high school, try finding something thats not related on Wall Street like extracurriculars.</p>
<p>yea im in high school</p>
<p>right now i can almost gaurantee an internship at axa finance company due to family connection but i was wondering if i could do something better that is sponsered by a college</p>
<p>what college do you plan to apply at?</p>
<p>i feel that college will value leadership and extracurriculars over an internship at axa. </p>
<p>what will you be doing at axa?</p>
<p>im applying at sterns.....
i already have some leadership(im prez of censored news, historian for fbla, nxt yr vp for fbla, and looking for a position in at least on of my honored society) and i pretty much have good ec's. so thats why i was looking for something different such as an internship</p>
<p>I had an internship at UBS Investment Bank in Zurich my Sophomore year of High School and going to be working at Perry Capital's london office this summer but then again I mostly got in through connections. So try to and see if you know anyone who works at an IB or Hedge Fund or at least knows someone who does.</p>
