Three Things You Need Ready Before the Deadline

Every internship on this list requires the same three things: an updated CV, a focused cover letter specific to that organization, and at least one strong letter of recommendation. Starting them the night before the deadline is not a strategy.

For Goldman, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley, the application is the easy part. Preparation for competency interviews, case studies, and technical rounds is what determines the outcome. Begin now.

Book a free session with a Leap Scholar counselor to understand which of these internships fits your academic profile and career goals, how to write a strong application, and what post-internship pathways connect to the best study-abroad and career outcomes.
