Does I-banking internship hurts once chance for any prestigious fellowships?

<p>I got curious and did a quick Google search. Of course, this is from 1998, and there may be some more recent-- but check out Adeel Qalbani, who graduated from Princeton with a degree in Economics.</p>

Adeel’s thesis focuses on international portfolio investments in emerging markets. His independent research on the balance of payments crises and the effects of monetary policy on stock prices has been supplemented by summer internships in investment banking on Wall Street. In high school, Adeel attended Boy’s State and Boys’ Nation. He plays men’s tennis at Princeton and is passionate about golf. (He continues working to lower his 15 handicap.) Adeel also enjoys weightlifting, snow skiing, and basketball.

<p>Wow. “summer internships in investment banking”-- as in plural. So, that’s at least one. I’m sure there are more. These former Rhodes Scholars often sit on the committees, too. I seriously doubt it’s unusual or a negative (again, all other things being equal).</p>
