Applications literally just opened and I am freaking out. Well, I am currently a senior at a non-target in NYC. For personal reasons my GPA withstands a mere (2.2+). I managed to have three internships at my belt all being front-office finance positions during college, but the ship sank during my senior year. By the slight of a miracle, I was able to able obtain one stint at a M&A regional boutique this summer. (Don't even ask how, they were in need of summer analysts and I was literally first in line 5 minutes after the posting opened and no one applied for weeks after May which became immediate hire) So far, that particular boutique wont hire any inters for full-time. I sent emails over the summer but I only had one person telling me that I should just apply online (did not want to meet in person). My question to you guys is....
1. Should I just keep networking, then apply to all banks?
2. Pull the long shot of just applying to all the banks early (including MMB) and hoping for the best in time for graduation next year?
Thanks for reading!
