Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
For analytical work, choose a question you answered with evidence. Describe the dataset or source, your method, assumptions, and one limitation. A course paper can be useful if you clearly identify it as academic work and respect any restrictions on sharing it.
Choose assignments by their tasks. An economics research position and an information-systems position may require very different evidence. Connect the most relevant example to the work instead of using the same broad statement about interest in finance everywhere.

Add a stage & next actionFederal Reserve Board: questions before applying
Can a student graduating before the summer assume eligibility?
No. The Board requires returning to studies afterward. Check your degree timeline and the selected assignment before investing in an application.
Which class year should I select?
A minimum is not confirmed at program level. These opportunities remain in the opening-specific group; use the role's qualifications rather than an assumed junior-only rule.
