<p>This year I interned at a small quantitative hedge fund... would definitely like to find a different kind of internship for next year, as soon as possible (peace of mind). </p>
<p>I am a great student and know how to program. I am located near the New York area. Are there any big companies in the area that are noted for their tendency to give internships to high school students? I figure it will be rare, but I am willing to send out many applications and know that I will get rejected more often than not. </p>
<p>I am looking for a programming or finance related internship. </p>
<p>Thank you!!!!</p>
