That is incorrect UC_Benz. The Freshmen at Wharton, Sloan, Stern etc… are usually high potential high flyers and are given meaningful work, even as Freshmen. There is great value to early internships. Do you realy believe that a Junior with no work experience is as experienced and capable as a Juinior entering her/his third internship? Now Ross manages to give its Juniors incredible internship placements, but I still think there is a benefit to starting them early.

Let me put it this way. You are a recruiter at GE or JP Morgan, and you have the choice between two students who are equal in almost every way, but one has never had a summer internship and the other had two previous summer internships in a related industry and field. Which oen do you prefer Which one has the advantage?
