Hi guys, I am also currently applying to investment banking graduate programmes, an you advise me on which online tests are the best to prepare for Credit Suisse application? Please let me know.
Woo, UBS rejection. Thought my application was pretty good but whatever, can someone shed light on what it takes to get through this stage or is it luck?

Probably luck. I'm at a semi-target and have nearly 1.5 years of relevant experience, destroyed the tests, anihilated the application questions and still didn't get a first round interview.

Wondering if they only hired like two graduates? Or just decided to hire no one? My friend got transferred to the summer internship.

Yep, same here. I don't think they hired many grads (if any) in IBD this year, and I'd love to know why..

Did you request to be transferred or did the email going received say you were automatically going to Be considered for summer intern instead?

Also are you final year undergrad or masters?

I'm final year undergrad (not doing MSc) and I wasn't transferred. Although maybe they just don't like me :tongue:

With MS, I was referring to off-cycle. Still useful to know that they don't plan on hiring FT!

Are you sure about JPM and PWP? Why would they accept apps if they know they don't hire?

Post-test, I've also received an invite to the Morgan Stanley off-cycle IBD & GCM workshop.

Seems like everybody here is an undergrad. Any graduates applying to the off-cycle internships?

If there's no FT or plans for FT hiring then why do those banks have FT postings?
