<p>This thread is really interesting to me because I know absolutely nothing about IB but I think that might be son’s interest. He’s at Harvard where he has a 3.9+ in economics and is on track to finish his master’s also in stats in four years. The past two summers he’s worked remotely for professors in econ and govt on book manuscripts and data collection. He really hated doing this. We are academics and he always thought he’d go into academics but it looks like he wants the business world instead.</p>
<p>Will it hurt him that he hasn’t interned yet with one of the IB firms? He is a junior. Has some good ECs that demonstrate he is a good speaker, good writer and good at meeting deadlines. Should he already be looking for summer internships? For all I know he already is . . .</p>
