JP morgan Schools Programme 2011

where did you hear that?

I live in in London, I'm hoping they'll let me book a hotel....we'll see.

I have a place for the programme on the 10/11th august - is it worth going to?

Why would you need to book a hotel anyway?

has anyone heard for the 17-18th?

EC's: first XI hockey, combined cadet force, student council, etc.
I'm predicted an A* for A2-level maths, and A's for physics and chemistry AS-level.
IGCSEs: 5A* ( and 1 more in a GCSE), 4A's

I really want to go into IB after university, which is why I applied in the first place I suppose - not that I actually expected to be offered a place - as I though it would be a good experience. That said, it's expensive to get to London, and to pay for a hotel for 2 nights isn't cheap either. Would going give me some sort of edge for future applications to internships and whatnot?


I got an email a couple of hours ago from them, and applied some time in the Easter holidays I think, though I can't even remember really. It seems like a long time ago, that is for sure!

To be honest if you have pay for travel and accommodation yourself then it's possibly more expense then it's worth. Though I'm pretty sure it would help in future ib applications especially for the same bank as you get networking opportunities and an insight into how that particular bank works.

I think it's definitely worth the costs, the programme offers a lot more than the other insight days. Experience on the trading floor is something none of the others offer and with it obviously being two days there will be a lot more going on. Plus, having a couple of days at JPM on your CV would be great in the future.

I have a feeling I read that they don't cover any costs unfortunately but I reckon if you book the right trains and a cheap hotel you could probably do it all for not much over £100, it's definitely worth it.

Well yeah you're probably right. I didn't apply for the Jp Morgan insight day because I only noticed it after the deadline. I've applied for the Rbs one though. I probably wouldn't do it if they didn't cover the costs though. Like I have to fly to get to London and they pay for that plus a four star hotel room which I have to say is actually pretty awesome.
I'd say the two days would be much better though. Double the experience and learning. Experience of the trading floor? What does that involve? For Rbs anyway they say we get a tour of the trading floor.

Yeah it's actually amazing! They are paying for my flight from Dublin and an actually really nice hotel for the night before and that comes to a few hundred pounds like. What date are you doing?

I got an offer for 10-11th August! Does anyone know how we accept the offer, or do we not have to?

good luck everyone who is still waiting.......
