How to get quant internships in Undergrad

[jayatenet]

I'm currentl purusing undergrad in financial math and cs at Ohio State. So far, the only internships I've been able to find are more technical/A.I. focused and the 'financial' companies close by are Chase/Huntington/etc.

Seeing the info on Tracker, I am surprised to see how many applicants have various internships at hedge funds/ other quantitative roles. Hence, I was wondering where to look for these roles and how the lack thereof would hinder my application to mfes akin to GTech and NYU Tandon

Thanks in advance for your help and insight!

I suspect many profiles with internships on see on the Tracker are from oversea (China/India) and those are very loosely defined as quantitative roles. The finance industry outside of the US is way less developed.
I post a list for Summer 2025 internship here. Many requires a MS degree or PhD but some are open to undergrad.

I suggest you expand your search beyond big names firms where most applicants target. Even a purely programming role is very beneficial.
Having an internship is a plus but many people got in top programs without one.
