Hello,

I’d like to inquire about getting a pwm internship at a bulge bracket firm during the summer of my freshman year.

How does a student go about getting such an internship? I mean, recruiting season is during the fall (maybe I’m wrong??) and thus I would have no grades to show to the recruiters. I even won’t have any leadership roles in any activities during this time. So what will make me a more attractive candidate so as to receive the internship?

I’ve met many people with this internship experience after their freshman year, so I know getting one is possible at most firms (I don’t believe Barclays offers a pwm internship to freshman and maybe a few others).

Lastly, do we apply online (firm’s official website) for internships/full time jobs?
