Mid September. Fast-track event for people with spring weeks/banking experience.

Did you tell them you had a summer 2012 offer?

At JPM, people with 2011 Spring Week experience were interviewed about a month ago for the 2012 summer internship

Surely you answered yourself?

I think 2nd on a 4 year course should apply for Spring Weeks, not 100% sure though.

Yes, it's just that some banks offer summer internships for 2nd year students as well, that's why I was asking. Thanks for your answer anyway :smile:

That was for people who did the JPM spring week. The UBS fast-track event next month is for interns from other banks.

My mistake, I did not get it that way, they are trying to steal spring week interns from other banks :colone:

haha SWs give you just enough experience which comes from a couple of campus presentations. i wonder what sets SW people apart that they need to be fast tracked :/

I dont think SWs do a very good job in terms of skill building. If anything, you just meet lots of bankers and get to know a bit more about the 'work' (mergersandinquisitions.com).

Yes they do a numerical SHL test which is not bad but IMO their pass-mark is insanely high. I'm talking 16 - 17/18 in 25 mins.

how does it work with the test?
Are you given you specific times/dates, when you have to take them or time frames, e.g. any time/date within next 4 weeks?
