    Hi Guys! I'm actually new to this thread but would really appreciate some advice! Accepted DB Spring into Markets already, got offers from MS and BAML and JP Morgan Winning Women's Programme. Out of the last 3 which one should I chose? Thank you

    For the people that have formally accepted a JPM spring week: Have you received a confirmation email from them after sending your acceptance email?
    Nope I haven't got anything back either.

    Just out of curiosity, did you get to choose PWM or AM or is it a general IM internship? GS structure their IM division with those two sub-divisions right?

    Thank you! They don't clash, I'm just a bit apprehensive because I really do need to revise for my exams which are 3 weeks after easter!

    That will be the same as me if I end up getting any of the SW I applied for (just waiting to hear post interview) but I guess you sort of have to weigh up improving future chances for employment etc with getting revision done? Plus, there are always evenings and weekends to revise (however depressing the thought is!)

    As it would me, but sometimes there's little choice... Unless of course you just don't revise much (my likely method). I'm assuming you're all 1st years anyway and 2nd years of 4 year courses so exams don't really matter anyway

    Actually quite a few of my modules count towards my final degree classification

    Already?! Aren't you just a first year though? I'm a second year in a four year degree and this year doesn't even count... What a way to add pressure to you! I'm sure you'll find a way to get it all done though.

    My first year counted 10% and this year counts 20%. But I do a real degree

    Just trolling you. I have no idea what degree you do.

    That said your final two years are going to be a bitch if they are the only ones that count.

    Fair dos. Not really, I'm at uni in Scotland so courses are automatically 4 years and only the last 2 count. In England MOST (emphasis on that - clearly not yours) only have the last 2 years of the 3 year courses count so it's exactly the same except I get an extra year to do nothing
