When did you get the CS rejection?
Sorry to hear about that :frown:

But you still have 5 more :smile:

And it is expected to get rejected by most.
Have you not applied to RBS or BarCap?

Don't worry you still have more and hopefully you will get an interview for those!

Was there a numerical test for DB? / did they send it automatically?

Not as a current applicant but as a potential applicant next year I have a question. There are people on this thread being rejected without an interview from the likes of LSE and Cambridge. Is this simply down to not doing well enough in the aptitude tests or lack of prior experience (although if this is SW I doubt they ask for any experience, or do they?). Because you guys obviously have the target uni, which I thought was the thing that got you to the interview.

That's life. At least we are prepared for next years summer apps :wink:

. BarCap no, because I'm to lazy to write an essay. RBS is just 3 days, right? I think they wont take for one reason: They would have to approach me from Switzerland :P. I think they wont invest in me since there are hundreds/thousands of other excellent candidates.
CS rejected me some days after taking the numerical/verbal test. I failed there.

My DB app was for Frankfurt. They didn't send out tests, rejected me like two month after submitting my app.

Not necessarily, studying at a target Uni certainly stands you in good stead but a well rounded application should be demonstrated. eg. Good test scores, good answers to competency questions, Extra-Curriculars et.c

I can understand the RBS one. However for BarCap its not an essay, just a few questions. And the word limit is quite low so you do not have to write much! Have a go :smile:

.
Good luck on the rest of the applications.

err...you can upload a CV to UBS? :s-smilie:

I couldn't when I did it, I thought their application was made that way, hence all the tedious forms of grades, work experience etc.?
