Summer 2015 Applications

I just completed a 2014 Summer Internship at BAML and couldn't secure an offer because of headcount issues.
Since I officially graduate in March 2016, I could apply both for graduates and summer 2015, but the careers websites don't allow me to do both. I reckon that it is easier to make it through with a Summer Internship application? What do you think?

Many thanks!

If it was just because of "headcount issues" why dont you keep in touch and try to intern in the same team next summer? The MD will make it happen

Not sure it will be better next year. Tough years ahead for the FICC business.
I will apply to grad for BAML and ask MDs to push for me to get in, but even they don't get to decide of headcount. So I want to maximize my chances with other banks as well.

Hi,

I sent in my application to CS two days ago and I received the following message 1 min after I submitted it:

"Thank you for applying to the Credit Suisse 2015 Summer Internship program.

We have received your completed application and it is now being assessed as a potential secondary/duplicate account, before it is released to our recruitment teams. Please keep in mind that we receive a large volume of applications and appreciate your patience while we process these.

If you have already made applications in the current recruitment year this account/profile will not be considered further.

Kind regards,

Credit Suisse Campus Relations Team"

Did anyone else receive the same text and how long time does it usually take before you get invited to the numerical test?

Didn't receive this. Did you apply using a duplicate account? Best to email them and clear it up asap to save them the pain.

If they find it's the same applicant applying under a different email address they automatically reject you.

Just sat my Lazard numerical, and I'm not sure if the system has glitched, since I clicked the email link again and it's still active..

Yeah i got that dw, it means basically if you signed up with another email address to what you've previously used (for your spring weeks last year) then they are checking youre not doing duplicate applications.

Bascially just use your original account for any credit suisse applications don't make more than one anymore.

I sat the Lazard numerical yesterday, and just wondered if rejections post numerical are instant?

Seems like if you pass = instant invite to verbal, so you'd expect fail numerical = instant rejection?

Which banks use Kenexa and which use SHL? I know that RBS have their own numerical test.

Has anyone applied to Aberdeen, per chance? - I was having a look at their website and it mentions you need to complete the form in one sitting. Are there supplementary questions to answer (i.e competency based ones etc)?, or is it just a case of submitting cover letter and cv and picking your preferred business area?

Do you guys know which firms don't recruit on a rolling basis? Last year Evercore didn't, if I remember correctly, any other?
