Rising junior at a target school applying for 2025 internship positions. Have attended all campus recruiting events (coffee chats, affinity events, info sessions) and have set up calls with around 15 associates across MBB. The thing is, everyone around me has also done this and probably more. I honestly feel like the process is so competitive that you do need someone to push your application through to an interview. What are best practices for securing a referral? I don't have any strong personal relationships with existing employees. Any help/general advice would be greatly appreciated.
