I will most likely get my BA after the fall of 2014 and I am thinking about directly going to one if the top tier for grad school. Everything seem doable expect my summer internship. I went to the career and internship department to get help in order to get an Internship in the financial engineering field, however an advisor told me that our school is not the type of tech-Orientated college and has therefore zero network in the field. This situation minimize my chance of internship for next summer. That's the reason I am coming here for help. If anyone has been in my position before and was able, please give me advise and suggestions. The steps to take in order to get the internship and whatever suggestion or advise or experience would be helpful. Because I feel that I am gonna need to do this thing on my own. Thanks</p>
