    internship application question?
    Is it possible to apply for top investment bank internship if u uni is not in the top 15.
    Such as university of kent, University of east Anglia etc.

    Absolutely not, the screening will reject you instantly if you're university isn't a target.

    Is so unfair. Are u sure every top investment bank does it?

    Yes, or they will invite you for interview to haze you for 30 minutes and not reimburse your expenses just to waste your time and get you back for wasting theirs

    If you aren't going for front office then its definitely possible, harder for S&T or IBD but if you are good they will take you regardless. You just have to prove yourself on the form/at the interviews.
