How many people got fast tracked? I heard many got rejected from their first choices...

I don't have numbers, I only know of 2 others atm who got FT. Each division has different campus recruitment HR so interviews are seperate, I'm interviewing for IBD.

given there's more summer spots than springs, I guess not as difficult. Granted alot of summer spots may get taken SW fast trackers.

With no spring week or no prior experience at all?
If the latter you'll need to apply very very early (think of not later than a week after the applications open) so you have a spot of waving in the first found of interviews and assessment centres (where everything is considerably easier)

Would disagree. More summer places offer internships but the process for a summer is far more gruelling and you usually need more on your CV than you would for a SW. Also some SW classes are huge, whereas summers aren't.

Are fast track offers conditional on any first year grades?
