All students accepted into the Program must maintain a minimum 3.5 GPA for the semester and cumulative average in order to graduate from the Program.
FLP challenged me to never stop learning or looking for ways to improve. The program gave me a constant support system and endless resources, ensuring I was fully prepared for a career on Wall Street. Thanks to both the technical and soft skills I developed throughout my participation in FLP, I feel confident in my ability to represent myself professionally and competitively in my summer internship.
