Trying to help my younger brother break in to IB and wondering if anyone has any advice on this situation. He’s D1 athlete that went to a non target on scholarship due to my family’s financial situation. However, he has super minimal internship experience since he was forced to play in semi pro leagues each summer so he’s running in to the the classic non target candidate issue. Any thoughts on what he can do to improve his candidacy?/ any small firms known to have less rigid recruitment policy?

Is he open to T2/T3 cities and perhaps smaller firms? Could he get experience there then recruit again once he has something on the resume?

Yeah, he’s pretty much open to anything right now. But honestly just struggling to opportunities that essentially require no experience. He’s aged out of eligibility for most internships since he graduated this fall. He’s just taking extra classes for his last year of eligibility on the team
