Hello everyone. This fall I will be starting my sophomore year in college as finance major. I am beginning to explore the possibilities of doing a summer internship at a large IB the summer after my sophomore year. I am specifically interested in the JP Morgan freshman/sophomore summer internship.

I know how competitive spots are, and I want to be able to have the best odds possible. Unfortunately I am attending a no-name university the very few connections to the big investment banks. I have a 4.0 GPA and experience working in the Lending/Finance industry, but the school I am going to is likely going to hurt me.

What is the best way for me to approach getting these internships? Should I just apply at a ton of different banks online and hope to get an interview? I wont get any help landing an internship through my school, so I will have to do it all on my own. Do any of you know if JP Morgan/Goldman does any recruiting meetings at their headquarters? Would it be worth flying out to NYC to apply through a recruitment meeting?

Any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
