Haven't applied to GS yet. Not seeing it as a problem since they apparently haven't started reviewing apps.

How are you guys holding up?

I did GS, JP, DB, BAML, Nomura, Rothschild. Also processing Barclays (gotta take the online assessment).
Thinking of starting UBS and CS but I think it's kind of late anyway. Was told that CS only recruit a very small amount of students cause most of their spring week attendees are insight days student who were fast-paced.
Small insight: most people at UCL Econ haven't done much yet spring-week wise and even though we had lots of events to prepare us etc I don't think they realise you're not suppose to apply the day of the deadline. Quite funny.

I want all my spring week work to be done by Sunday so I can focus on finishing the term correctly.
Good luck everyone :wink:

I can vouch for this. Many people I've spoken to have only sent 1/2 off as they don't realise that they're nearly all on a rolling basis.

Did you guys write a cover letter for JPM? I went to one of their campus events and vaaaaguely remember the person saying that you don't need a cover letter but in the application there's place for an optional cover letter file :frown:

If it's optional, then it's not :wink:

Do one, nothing to lose, and shows an extra effort.

Sorry for the redundancy, everyone. Just want to gauge how likely I will be rejected for Nomura.

How long did it take everyone to hear back? Is there a status change before an invite to interview or a rejection?

It's not a specific firm, instead it's a company that guarantees a place on an internship in their chosen field for everyone who gets on the program

Hey I remember speaking to you before we started.

ECON1001 was/is a pile of BS, but it is definitely getting better as time goes on. First year has been pretty amazing so far, made so many great friends and life is just great in general at UCL.

I'm finding it pretty tough to manage SW apps alongside work and society stuff though. I mean my marks are high and I'm not behind but I could definitely use a bit more time to look over stuff more than what I am currently. Are you involved in any societies?
