Nice, much appreciated

Out of curiosity, did you include the incoming bb internship in your cv when applying?

Yeah, it was only gonna help my application I think.

Are there still many people waiting for decisions? Or have the majority decisions been sent out already?

I am currently still waiting for a decission, applied mid-January and have been at "Decision Pending - Your application is currently under review" without any noticeable steps in between. Does anyone know what this means?

Sure, Bsc in Business and Econ from an average European university with a first. Some scholarships and awards. Work experience/Internships as student assistant, in boutique strategy consulting and financial advisory. Offer from LSE and Warwick in F&E. And what about you?

Solid profile, I've got a BSc in Finance with a high first (#1 in cohort) from a bottom-tier uni in the EU, also with some awards/scholarships. Had 1.5 years of FT work experience as an IB analyst at a boutique at the time of application. Surprised they didn't immediately reject me for being a bit too experienced to be honest. Sitting on an offer from Imperial A&F atm.

Moved to the DP stage somewhere just before the weekend I think. Did not receive any communication, just a status change in the portal

What makes people think the DP-stage basically means you will receive an offer? I applied January 31st and was moved to DP exactly a week ago, haven’t heard anything since

All stages after department review are bureaucratic - you've already been recommended for an offer by the department and they're just validating your application, so congrats. What's your profile/stats?

Thanks, I hope you’re correct. 4.5/5 GPA from a Northern European business school, two investment banking internships (local banks), some consulting experience, and currently interning at an investment company
