2012 Consulting Interviews / Rejections / Offers

I think it depends on what you want to do further down your career. If you want to end up in consulting, then you should obviously pursue this interview. If however you want to work in middle office banking, then GS would be more than perfect.

anyone did the OW tests in London today or yesterday (numerical+critical reasoning)? how many questions did you answer?

About 21 on numerical and 18 on verbal.

Impressive. I only managed to do roughly 15 for both.

On a side note, has anyone heard from OW London yet? I applied for both FSC and GMC.

Only worry is that if I got 3/4 wrong in the numerical then suddenly my overall score goes down to about 13-15 out of 30 lol!

So I should perhaps have slowed down a bit because of the penalty for incorrect answers...

OW final round invite.

Congratulations ebam_uk!

I am just curious, If I have an international award for youth essay-writing competition, but low 2:1 degree from Imperial, will there be a chance to apply to top MBB graduate jobs next year?

And how can I improve myself to get a better shot?

Thank you

Hi all,

I've been asked to complete tests for Simon-Kucher and Partners. I've seen a few people have got through to interviews; would be grateful if you could let me know the level of difficulty of the tests as the 45min time has kind of threw me off. Although I see it is SHL so if it is a standard SHL that should be ok.

Also I have never practised case interviews. Always assumed I would practice if I got an interview - going to be tough to fit in practice around my university work if I do get through.

congrats. i want to get my application to skp in tomorrow hopefully (deadline is thursday so its cutting it a bit short though). is work or academic experience abroad required for skp or is it just preferred?

They are standard and I would say easier than most that I'd done before so no worries

19.40 in London still no answer from Oliver Wyman. I did the online tests over two weeks ago. Did anyone get an invite for the upcoming internship interviews?

Yeah I did ^ see above post.

I don't have any experience abroad. To be honest I expected a rejection like all the other strat houses, so to be invited to tests is nice surprise.
Still waiting on PA Consulting. I sent them an email the other day but still waiting for a reply!

yes but you did the tests in person not online.

Yeah I guess the benefits of being at a target school is that they take all the people from target schools then fill up with the leftovers with non-targers

Yes, we're the 'leftovers'. So where does someone with such arrogance hold offers from?

Oh me? Don't worry about my non-target self, I've accepted an offer for a Corporate Finance Sumemr Analyst at HLHZ.
