How to Get a Goldman Sachs Internship from Indiana University

6 min read · Updated September 23, 2026

Indiana punches well above its weight in investment banking, largely because of the Kelley School of Business and its Investment Banking Workshop. If you're at IU and want Goldman Sachs, you're at a school banks already know. Here's how to use it.

What Goldman Sachs hires interns for

Goldman Sachs's internship programs include:

• Investment Banking Summer Analyst
• Global Markets Summer Analyst
• Asset & Wealth Management Summer Analyst
• Engineering Summer Analyst

Pick one before you start. Your networking, resume and interview prep all get sharper when they point at a single program and office.

When to apply

Banks recruit about two years ahead. For a junior-summer Summer Analyst role, some postings go up as early as November of sophomore year and most open around January 1. Many firms review applications as they arrive, so applying in the first weeks matters more than the stated deadline.

Using Indiana to get in

Kelley's Investment Banking Workshop is one of the best-known undergraduate banking programs in the country. It trains students in technicals and connects them with alumni across Wall Street. If you can get in, it's the single most useful thing you can do.

If you're not in the workshop, you can still recruit. Use Kelley's career services, finance clubs, and Kelley alumni at Goldman, who are often happy to talk to current students.

Because Kelley students recruit early and seriously, the bar on campus is high. Start technical prep and networking in the fall of sophomore year, not the spring.

Networking into Goldman Sachs from Indiana

Search LinkedIn for “Goldman Sachs” filtered to Indiana University. Many will have come through Kelley and the workshop, so a mention of either is a natural opener. Start with analysts in the group you want.

Tailor your resume to the program

Match your resume to the specific Goldman Sachs posting: prove each requirement it lists, use its phrasing where it's true, and keep it to one page. The full process is in how to tailor your resume for each internship.

What Goldman Sachs interviews focus on

• A recorded video round is common early in the process.
• Behavioral questions with a heavy focus on why Goldman and why banking.
• Technicals: accounting, the three statements, valuation methods, and a discounted cash flow walkthrough.
• Superday: several interviews back to back. Kelley's training is a real edge here, so use it.
