<p>… dear lord. </p>

<p>You need to do a LOT of reading. For starters there is an entire forum dedicated to Investment Banking, hidden deep somewhere on this board.</p>

<p>…oh wait, it’s a subset of this very page. </p>

<p>Do a few searches, and come up with a question not as loaded as “How to get a job there?”</p>

<p>In general, get a high GPA, network, and learn about the industry-- two of which you definitely have not done yet.</p>

<p>long story…</p>

<p>Start reading corporate valuation fundamentals like crazy. DCF, comp valuations, lbo valuations…</p>

<p>read the journal. read the economist. pay attention to financial news. pay attention to daily trends in treasury yields. pick your favorite stocks and why you like them. </p>

<p>yes. go to a top school. preferably one of the ivies. </p>

<p>as many internship experiences as you can get in college. preferably finance related to show your passion in finance.</p>
