I find this whole process bs because you manage to get baml spring week but get rejected from pwc. I go to a non target yet get through the tests and now onto this virtual interview thing... Wish i applied to the investment banks now as i think i am over estimating the competition. Btw, i dunno if you also applied to EY and Deloitte but i got destroyed by theirs. Anyway enjoy baml :smile: .

For baml was the interview just a standard 45 minute 1 based on competency questions and basically why this division/baml?

Pretty much. Motivation/Comptency/Fit asked a little about my experiences on CV.. I think she was trying to figure out whether they were real.. lol, asked how I got summer intern at an IB before uni.
I heard about the deadline extension by JP Morgan, but their website still says 30th November, can anyone confirm this by sending a link or something saying it has extended.

HR told us at an event on Friday, everyone cheered when she said it.

me, I only applied to pwc as it was the only place which took freshers from 4 year courses

I think I remember you from the 2014 a level results thread, where are you studying now?

How long did that take? I did mine yesterday - well, today (1 am).

What was your AC like? Have mine after the New Year.
Also would you be able to link the RBC SW, I haven't been able to find it.

Online app with CV and cover letter and then a 24 hour ish delay until invitation to AC. After 1st AC if you pass there is a second one and then offer.

I am fresher of 4 year course and have effectively got the RBS SW, got AC at HSBC and ICAP and am waiting to hear from about 8 or 9 others with perhaps 2 rejections. I don't see the harm in applying anyway, especially if you have a legit reason.

I did rubbish as well.. got like 3/5 on both. Should I take that as a fail?
