Question about getting pre-MBA IB internship: hi guys, i am currently a T2 consultant who spent last 3.5 years in healthcare transaction space (CDD/VDD/etc). Got into M7 and thinking of trying to do pre-MBA IB internship. Given that i am not diversity candidate - has anyone done something similar? Would be amazing if someone advised on specific healthcare banking groups to target/ do’s and don’ts/ suggested process timeline? Thank you for any help!

I got into a Pre-MBA summit at Evercore, I don’t think it helped my overall chances. I think IB is one of those careers where it’s luck to some extent (combined with a solid grasp of concepts) and at the Associate level, soft skills.

Pre MBA internships usually drop around Q1/Q2 - for the entering Fall class.

You don’t need a pre MBA internship to get into IB
