<p>As an incoming freshman at Brown what do I need to do to try and make sure that I can line some sort of internship the next summers? </p>
<p>I definitely want to begin interning at banks or other fin. firms next year. What other programs besides Morgan Stanley, GS Undergrad Camp, and the whole SEO thing should I check out? I am a Native American so I am def. looking at the minority programs. </p>
<p>I would prefer a BB program or internship but I would do anything that will eventually help me in the long run such as a very small shop.</p>
<p>I will definitely shoot for a 3.8+ first semester and I will take courses in economics and calculus. </p>
<p>This summer, I received an internship at a local energy firm working in their risk management department. It will include a lot of math and statistics. Will this help at all in the recruiting process?</p>
<p>Overall, will I have a shot at all at any of these programs? Any feedback would be awesome, Thanks.</p>
<p>I heard ppl from Brown get grades as satisfactory/no credit. You have no credit on wall street. I mean that in all seriousness. Brown doesn’t produce that many analysts.</p>
<p>In all seriousness, unless your black/hispanic/female or well connected, you’re not going to get into any of those programs. Not that it really matters, most of the analysts I know didn’t do jack **** their freshman year</p>
<p>Dude honestly you don’t know how much of an advantage you are being Native American. Your chances are so much higher than anyone else just by this fact. I would apply to SEO when you’re a sophomore as a backup. I mean, honestly, a lot of people say crap about SEO because it’s like affirmative action where you give minorities who don’t deserve to get into banking get into i-banks. Who cares? As long as you’re in there and prove yourself, it really doesn’t matter how you get in. The key is that you give yourself the opportunity to get in the door. I would also recommend that you apply through your career services. Applying just through the general bank’s website will get you nowhere unless you go to Wharton or some other top target school. Also, make sure you do something your freshmen summer. Any kind of experience, being a teller at a local bank branch or working as a accounting assistant at some small firm will really boost you up above those who just have the GPA. You have a lot going for you and if I were you I would try to leverage my position as much as I can.</p>
