<p>Hi.
I am currently an undergraduate at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS). I am majoring in Accounting and Finance and done with my first semester. Like any other aspiring student I too dream of making it to the investment banking field. For that I tried and got into prestigious B-schools in the world but due to certain family issues could not leave the country for study purpose. Now I am in Pakistan and I have had absolutely nil exposure to any I-banking firms because neither they give any presentations at campuses nor do they recruit from any. I doubt if Pakistan houses any major investment banks. Anyways I have been reading about target and non target schools pertaining to hiring of interns for summer internships. My only question is does me coming from a country where there are meager I banking resources and from a university which is not even internationally ranked hinder or absolutely diminish my chances to make into their freshmen internship to be held in the summer. It goes without saying that I would only apply when I meet their minimum requirements. </p>
<p>I would really appreciate honest opinions and candid responses backed by personal or close experiences. </p>
<p>Thanks in anticipation</p>
