I’m interested in applying for the EY launch sophomore summer program. Do most applicants network a lot and receive a referral like for normal recruitment? Not sure if the process is about the same as standard junior year recruitment. Also, how competitive is the process typically? Any advice for standing out?
Please help. I attend a semi-target and want to recruit for consulting next year but this spring semester has not been the best for me. I will worst case have a 3.5 for the end of my freshman year. I know for MBB/T2 typically a 3.8+ is a target gpa. Do I still have a good enough shot to try for junior year summer recruitment? I am working to improve my GPA sophomore fall but even then I’ll likely only get to a 3.7. And recruitment for MBB starts my sophomore spring. What should I do to maximize chances despite lower gpa?
