about one hour after I submitted I got their tests
about 10 days after got an invitation to telephone interview.
Had it yesterday, was told to wait 2 weeks for result
Checked emails - still nothing. *sigh*

Off to Vector Calculus Lecture *double sigh* haha.
Good luck to everyone else still playing the waiting game.

Just got a call from UBS. Phone interview on Monday. Has anyone had one? Is it competency based or any technical questions?

Invited to UBS AC on Wednesday. For those of you who already received an offer from UBS, do you have any tips for the group exercise and individual presentation ?
Also, for those of you who passed Lazard's first round interview, what is the case study like ? Since I'm located abroad, I must do it on the day of the AC. Also, was the numerical test like the SHL online ?
Thanx for your answers !

Tell me about it! I suppose it's better than a rejection... although I'm losing hope every day haha. I take it you are sorted then??

Congrats mate. Not looking hopeful on my apps!


Me and you are in the same boat mate lol.
Just received a message from RBS saying that they are now reviewing my application and would allow me to sit the tests should they wish to do so. Has anybody else received this at any point in time?!
Had the MS phone interview. Standard comp questions and I think at some points I was blabbering too much :/

Got an invite to sit the logical reasoning test this morning, after submitting my app a few days ago. They seem to be sending stuff out pretty randomly-some people get invited straightaway, while others have to wait :s-smilie:

It's just IT and another division that are open. Does GS even send tests?!

well that's not what they did for Spring Insights, and it probably isn't what they'll do for Summer internships. They just review all applications after the deadline and then assess your numerical abilities at later stages.

i doubt they will leave it till after deadlines. many good candidates will have already accepted offers by then

It's GS mate, they're that confident that they are willing to review after the deadline, they never review on a rolling basis :smile:
