Non-Target School Investment Banking Internship

<p>I am at a non-traget school (UW-Madison) and I was wondering how hard it would be to get a BB internship in sales and trading? What are the chances of getting an internship by applying for it on their website as opposed to those who can apply for it during a career fair at their target college?</p>

<p>I'm not sure what kind of information you're after. I think you already know that it's competitive. Even for OCR resume submissions at target colleges its competitive. </p>

<p>Just try your best but be realistic in terms of your GPA, etc. Get the best work you can and after two years attend a top20 business school. From there, you'll be in a much better position to enter sales and trading.</p>

<p>I thought traders don't really need there MBA.</p>

<p>Well it depends, sales people often have MBAs because they need a broad view and knowledge of the different products. Many traders also still have MBAs in certain product groups, usually the nonquant instruments such as high yield and emerging markets.</p>

<p>what's your major and gpa?</p>
