Credit Suisse - Steps to Success Programme 2015

Going to be applying for this soon!

Need to prep for Numericals and Verbals, They are with Kenexa if you guys want to know.

When did they ask for you head of year verification about predicted grades?

Any of you know whether students on a gap year are considered for this?

Yes, you can be considered for this. As long as you are predicted (or achieved) AAA and have applied to uni recently.

Thanks for that, did my application and sent everything yesterday. Now to wait

Haha good to hear! - Good Luck!

Curious to know what are you predicted (or achieved) and EC's?

Achieved AAB, predicted A in FM. In terms of EC's, I'd rather not delve into it too much as it's incredibly specific. Basically it's got to do with working with some charities to teach kids GCSE sciences, maths and english. Got a few more things that I did in school in normal societies. Won a few awards along the way to go with it.

I think it's my cover letter that's a bit iffy; first one i've ever done and hopefully it's passable for them.

Oh ok that's fine,

No finance experience?

As for me, Predicted A*AA, Lots of IB (among other industry areas) experience, Volunteer at my school as a mentor and tutor (A-level to GCSE Sciences and Maths), Volunteer at charities, Few awards too.

Cover letter was pretty easy for me since I've done similar in the past.

Good luck!

No finance experience whatsoever. I've used that to help me in my application though as the target for this programme is for people who have been disadvantaged/underrepresented in the banking industry.

What course have you applied for Uni? And what choices did you put for your top two?

Chemical Engineering , Imperial, UCL respectively, and you?

Economics, UCL and QMUL

I am about to send off my form Today!

I put LSE and UCL as my unis. I applied to the Nomura and Morgan Stanley equivalents of steps to success so CV etc wasn't a problem however the cover letter was a bit challenging. Tho i have no IB experience. ECs were not a problem, dofe, founding community clubs and doing one on one tuition with both older and younger members in my local community with maths and german.

Currently predicted A* maths A furthermaths A German and A economics with AAAB (B-economics :////) at AS

When do you think I am likely to hear about the numerical and verbal tests?
