Summer 2017 Applications

Weird things happen.

Possible situations:

- 3 year degree + 2 year masters
- Convinced HR somehow
- Degree length was longer than usual

etc

All of them had a 2 years masters afterwards. It's 3 years bachelor and optional to continue on 2 years masters afterwards, and we've a spot secured by law in 1 of 13 master programs if we've been offered a spot in the bachelor program.

So since I am a second year student on a 3 year bachelor program, I possibly could apply to SW and Summer, since I have a secured masters afterwards?

This sounds like the european model to me, if so it's all pretty much normal.

Never said you weren't. If your masters is 2 years long, you can absolutely do the SW --> Summer --> grad path

Do you suggest creating a new account after a failed SW application or is it totally irrelevant?

Would not recommend it as the computer screening systems at some banks are designed to spot this so you will be flagged.

I would have to apply for both SW and Summer this year then, which I doubt you can given some of the banks only accept 1 application every 6 month!

I would personally just apply for summer if I'm honest, it'd give you the option of starting straight after uni rather than staying the long haul of completing a 2 year masters programme. But it's up to you!

Does it look bad if I had a SW this year but didn't manage to convert it into a summer offer?

Does the whole 'putting a good word in' from a VP/MD really help? One of my mates in the year above got fast tracked past tests/apps to an interview at a Big4 because she met someone at a career fair who liked her, but surely that's the exception not the rule right?

I think in most cases it won't really matter because the VPs/MDs know there is a formal application process and they wouldn't want to be 'used' by you to circumvent that process. Unless of course they find you really exceptional.

I cold emailed a guy working at a BB who now says that he might be able to request an informal interview for me. But this was for a division that didn't have an official summer analyst program. If it did, he would have probably just asked me to apply online.

its always good to network and without a doubt it helps your application indirectly but yeah I agree, I would not go about networking with the mind set that I could get fast tracked
