<p>Well, I have a few friends in the business school so I can share some qualitative info. </p>
<p>With decent grades and a life outside of academics (i.e. volunteer or get involved with some kind of meaningful club and maybe hold a campus job down with a customer service bent), internships for Smith students seem very easy to come by, even for sophomores. All of my rising junior friends are employed (though of course they sent out a lot of resumes) as paid interns, which is apparently rare overall for this economy. I imagine if you have had 2 internships graduating, a decent GPA, and some nice activities, you would fair quite well with anybody from NYU or an Ivy.</p>
<p>After all, it’s people in business more than anyone who know the “upper middle class woes” of not being able to afford 50K a year to sit in some classes. Haha. Another reason not to worry about some kid from Harvard taking your job (unless, of course, he’s more qualified than you…or taller?).</p>
