Summer Internship - Is finance/hard science degree required?
When/How do you land these? Obviously good grades and what-not, but other then that is there anything that really makes one candidate more exceptional than another? Is a finance/hard science degree required or can us BA people make it as well?

Do some research on the other forums.
BA people do fine, especially from targets.
GPA is significant. 3.6+usually将您置于“我可能不应该对它的自觉”区域中。3.7+使您进入“可能还可以的”区域。

Network heavily. Get on the phone with at least a few alums.
Construct a badass resume.
Thoroughly prepare for your interviews.
我有点困惑的“网络严重”的一部分nd the "badass resume." Obviously a resume is a resume right? Sure I have work experience, but really nothing financial related. Are alums readily open to talking with you?
Re: Badass resume -- One individual could write two resumes (same pool of experiences/achievements) and make one of those resumes amazing and the other total garbage. There are tons of resources out there about writing a strong resume. You should think hard about this.
Re: Networking -- Many alums are interested in helping undergrads (obviously, not All will be). If you have done a reasonable amount of homework on the industry and approach them politely and with consideration, you should have some luck. Alum conversations A) may give you a pal on the inside, B) may lead to other introductions within the firm, C) may lead to giving you a "push" in HR (ie. increasing your chance of getting an interview) and D) enable you to namedrop during interviews.
Re: Timing -- MostIBsummer internshiprecruiting takes place between mid January and early March.
