Things that raise your chances

• Spreadsheet modelling

  Build a three-statement model and a valuation before your first interview.

• Case competitions and investment clubs

  Where many students first meet Bay Street bankers.

• An earlier internship

  A first or second year role at a smaller firm, a credit union or a bank's branch office helps.

• Alumni coffee chats

  Short talks with people at the bank. Someone vouching for you matters.
