JP morgan Schools Programme 2011

Anyone else heard back from Morgan Stanley?

Lol? what? No.

I got a Morgan Stanley acceptance!!! Applied on the 5th or 6th june, getttt innn!! Hopefully i get the RBS and JPM ones as well

Chill out mate, it's not like you've won the world cup or anything

Haha i know, but during these exam rotten time, any news is thrilling :P Plus it finally gives me something good to put on my CV, which is pretty lacking currently

Rejected as well, although I could not attend if selected anyway...got a two-day McKinsey leadership residental on the same date.

May I ask what you ECs/ academics were, or anything which you feel helped your application? Just wondering what these schemes are looking for, as I will also apply next year.

ECs uhhm vice president of economics society at my sixth form, young enterprise, small personally founded business, sports (cricket/football), week work exp in the finance and marketing plus shadowing the MD of hushpuppies/wolverine HQ. Academics, 2A* 5A 2B, AS AABBC, A2 A*AAA. Hope that helps mate!

Dw the Mck&Co event looks much better, shame its year 12 only, i couldn't apply :P

Seems like a bit of a lottery! Well done for getting on though. I got rejected as well, bit annoyed but I got told I have a job interview today so that dampened it a bit

Do you happen to go to a well-known school by any chance? (Just trying to work out how they selected applicants... it would be a bit unfair if they did it based on work experience because the whole idea of these events is to give people without experience a chance)

Not to worry mate, what is your interview (you can PM me if u would prefer)? I too have got one this summer.

Leicester Grammar School, it's not well known (like eton etc) but its a private school nonetheless (private grammar, not state independant)

Just a part time job, nothing to do with banking I'll be applying for a few schemes in financial services soon though, what about you?

I'm being pedantic here, but Leicester Grammar School is not an actual grammar school. It's an independent secondary school which is was formed to emulate the city's former grammar schools.

Also, what is this state independent you speak of?

Nice, I got in as well. But are you actually going to put this on your CV, I would have thought that most people looking at an CV wouldnt really care about insight days? I may be wrong though.

Clearly you know more about me than the educational system so, no point me answering because i know what i said is wrong if were being pedantic. However never knew it wasn't a real grammar aha, learn something new everyday, been going there for 7 years almost now too lol

Fine, LGS is private, not a grammar, happy...

I don't think wether or not you going to private school made any difference or this event, it certainy didn't for me!

I didn't mean to offend you
