A-level Insight days 2016

Scroll to see replies

Original post by ___Sophie___
I'm hoping to apply to some insight days this year. I'm starting S5 which is the Scottish equivalent to year 12. What do the application processes for these days involve? and is there a certain criteria you are expected to meet? My lack of impressive extra curricular activities worry me, although I am planning on fixing that over the next couple of years. Will there be online tests? or interviews over the phone?


CV + application questions/cover letter mostly.

Worry when you get rejected, you still have a whole school year to get involved with stuff.

1. chill, 2. it opens when it opens, if it's not open by end of July assume that they aren't running it this year.

Last year I sent my app around end of july for a early-mid August time slot.

Yeh thanks :smile:

Heard RBS and Credit Suisse are the best ones as they are the only ones that can get you fast tracked!

And hopefully once we're at Warwick more opportunties will arise!

I got a confirmation after chasing them for one. They said that we'd hear about the travel arrangements soon.

Don't think I'll be able to make it to JPM's insight day next Friday; their travel agreement covers flights but not rail journeys 👎🏼

It covers Rail too, you just phone up instead. Did you not read the policy?

Oh they do cover rail journeys too, my apologies! I'll give them a ring tomorrow, but why would they set up an interview for just booking a journey? I guess I'll find out tomorrow, thanks anyways.

Have you received an email from them about booking the travel yet?

It's not an interview, the word interview is used because that's when they usually have to reimburse travel.*

Nope, emailed them to get some feedback but nothing so far.
Received the travel profile email from JPM this morning :smile:

My JPM status remained on Application Recieved haha, are they ever going tell me I didn't get on?

I'm convinced my application was too strong and the fact I already knew employees was unfair :h:😂😂

The emoji's at the end are meant to represent my sarcasm bud - Spring Weeks/Summer Internships will be a new ball game though
