I had a 730 in math and 610 in verbal. I got an email from lehman brothers asking me to apply to their summer analyst program...but they want my SAT score breakdown...and as some one said earlier 1400 is their cut off. So should I put my score on my resume or not??

Also, I am currently a junior pursuing a double major in Mechanical engineering and economics with an amazing GPA, and recently got interested in ibanking (I thought I wanted to be an engineer but not really interested in it anymore). I really have no past work experience, however I am very involved in on-campus activities and have various leadership positions. How much do you guys think the lack of work experience is going to come in the way of me trying to get into banking and how should I compensate for that if I am trying to look for an intership in banking this summer?? (P.S. Are they done hiring for the summer?? One of my friends told me most of them are done by december?? Is that true??)

Plus...I noticed some of you guys are just freshmen...and I realize you have already started networking..I was wondering how important it is to network to get into banking and if I am a little too late now in trying to get an intership in one of the top banks.

And one last thing can you guys recommend some good books on ibanking which are a must-read if you want to get into the field. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
