I think having connections is really understated, especially for these finance type jobs. A lot of friends I know who are part of professional organizations/fraternities all received a ton of offers for first round interviews, which even those are pretty selective. From my estimates, only about 5-10 students are chosen per office for the first-round, with only about 1-2 students advancing from that school, if any at all.

I'm also a junior in Engineering looking for jobs in finance. I didn't make any second-round cuts, but at least I have an internship lined up somewhat related to what I'd like to be doing. I'd also be interested in connecting with other 2p2ers taking a similar route and where some of you guys might get placed.
