Consultancy Summer Internships 2014

Hi, I've just started my Deloitte application form. The word limit in the career motivation questions states 100 words in bullet point. Could you tell me if it's 100 words in total per question or 100 words per bullet point regardless of how many bullet points I use?

I was also wondering if I should attach my CV. Did you end up attaching it? If yes, did you attach just your CV or cover letter as well?

Thanks in advance

It's 100 words in total. The boxes dont actually let you type any more than that anyway I think.

And no I didn't attach either of them. Luckily I got through to the online test! I wonder what proportion get through the first stage though... I hope it's not too many.

Sorry to say but I think getting to online test is automatic (as long as you meet basic 2:1 predicted and (340?) UCAS points requirements) for Deloitte. I got my online test invite within minutes of completing my application.

Always attach a CV and covering letter - just comes off lazy otherwise, I think.

Though saying that, I'm always attaching them and received nothing but a steady stream of rejections. Only 1 interview then rejection so far and 3 rejections pre-interview. Fun fun fun.

aw that sucks. At what point would your application be reviewed then?

Thanks for the info 100 words for 5 reasons can be a bit tight! Are you applying to the rest of Big4 as well? E&Y seems to be quite full already..

EY and KPMG appear to have no vacancies, while pwc is still talking about 2013...
Any info about applying to these 3 would be appreciated.

Apologies if this has been answered, but can first year students apply to these internships?

What sort of academic background does everyone have?

Undergraduate - Imperial: 1st Class
Postgraduate - Cambridge: Straight Ph.D. with national scholarship (second year)

Applied to Mck, BCG, Booz and OW

I got invited to the pre-screen test for E&Y where you're meant to answer questions about being in different situations. Did that then got rejected a day or two later. No idea whether it's for the test or the rest of my application.

Anyone know if there are any firms which accept final-year students on their internships? I asked a fair few companies at my uni consultancy fair, but the answer seemed to generally be a resounding no - will I just get rejected straight off if I apply for internships?

I haven't even taken my PwC tests yet, I've heard they only start reviewing apps after the deadline. Can anyone confirm this?

Confirmed for consultancy.
