Rejection like a month after the tests. My essays were dece I felt - lots of detail from their annual report, figures on M&A market share and recent deals.

Experience-wise I did a six month research internship with an MP on my gap year then another research internship doing research briefings for ministers/the PM in the Conservative Party during the general election and got a 2:1 in first year Law at Trinity, Cambridge....

I feel like I should've got a first round at least 😮


Law from Cambridge to doing IB? Shouldn't you be at Allen and Overy or somewhere; dishing out them subpoenas, making that $$ law monayyy. Suits style.

Does anyone's app for MS IBD say "application received" after tests still? Been like that for ages now...

(As in, I would've thought it should've changed to under review or something like that by now, idk)

What tests are their for MS investment management? Some of you have said numerical and some said numerical + logical??
Anyone have any idea on number of questions + time for Nomura Logical?

All I got was an email, 2 mins after the test saying 'Thank you for completing the tests...' Mine has only been 8 days. I think first rounds for most banks will be out 26th onwards.

Why 26th onwards?
