How often can I apply at certain banks

Hey everyone, 

I am a freshman at college, eager to break into investment banking. I am not very familiar with the application process and therefore have two questions. 

  1. Can I apply at a bank several times? e.g. could I apply for an IB internship at GS for the summer of 2025 (not getting in) therefore apply again 2026? 

  2. Can I apply for e.g. at GS IB internship for 2025 for several different locations to increase my chances, e.g NY, LA etc. 


Thanks for the help! 

 

Not a direct answer but I know for a fact that some firms in London blacklist you from applying for 3-5 years if you get rejected from their Spring Week
