    For the people that have formally accepted a JPM spring week: Have you received a confirmation email from them after sending your acceptance email?
    No - but then again I only recently replied.

    Which JPM week are you doing?

    Not sure if they will hold anymore.

    According to the last years GS spring 2011 facebook page there were around 130 interns across all divisions.

    Does anyone remember how many interview time slots were available across both days, 36?

    I think it will depend on division etc. I had my interview for securities the other day but still haven't heard from the other two divisions I went for.

    I was late to sign up for my telephone interview so not a clue how many slots they had per day.

    More than that, definitely. I think they did something close to 50 during one day. So like 100?

    Yup, mines on the 7th, however I'd hold out hope - they did say there'd be multiple assessment centres! Plus the fact that no-one else on TSR other than me seems to have heard (or at least, I haven't seen anyone else post about it) implies they're maybe doing it in small batches?
    Ha, you do actually seem to be the only person on TSR to have heard!

    Hmm...I'll remain hopeful but I'll try and put it to the back of my mind.

    I think the interview times were from 9am to 6pm and each interview lasted approximately 30 minutes so in a single day there were 18 interview slots per day and so 36 over both days. Within each interview slot there may have been upto 8 interviews being conducted so 288 interviews in person over both days. No idea on how many telephone interviews were held.

    Anybody know the approx interviewee to place ratio?

    Hm... To be honest, interviewing anything over 300 would be excessive to my mind, well let's push it up to 500 if let's say over all divisions they have something like 120 places. Then that's sort of reasonable.
