I am a freshman Economics concentrator at an Ivy, just finished up my 1st semester. My problem is not only that I'm a freshman, but also that most of my "experience" has been primarily in the arts and volunteer/local non-profit involvement.

Also, I realize that a big name brand internship is highly unlikely -- I am abiding by the commonly repeated advice "get anything you can get" by applying to niche, boutique, local, and some bigger firms in Philadelphia...
