Hey! I apologise if this question is frustrating or has been answered in previous posts but I am having trouble to find the application link for Morgan Stanley's spring week. I have tried everything logical, or at least how i know how. Does anyone have the direct link to this? Thank you.

Just read all 1105 posts, I gotta put that on my IB CV...
Oh an also, I feel ur pain prince.
Anyway, I'm new on tsr, currently pursuing a bachelor in economics at a target in Belgium, I'm in my first year and the ba takes 3 years so like most of u, I'm applying to SW's.
Do you guys know whether banks save some spots for Eu/non-UK students like myself ?
And is there anyone else studying outside of the UK here ?

Mate, I would send you a medal just for not being lazy. Thank you.

Yeah they hire an ample mix of both + non-EU too.

There are a few others on this thread, yes.

going to send off all my apps off by the end of october - most of them are already prepped and just need to do the online form and writing a news aritcle

NGL warwick freshers is jokes but having 2 weeks in october means early applications are pointless espically when you would have to do tests during freshers - would ideally want all apps to be sent off by october start... but hey ho

Thought I'd join in this thread after lurking for a while:wink:. LSE freshers isn't too mental so had some time to do some research lol. Still haven't started my basic cover letter yet ffs, have the same feeling as when I delayed starting my personal statement.
That being said I think I'm going to wait till I have some sort of role in a finance related or other society to beef up my CV before starting applications. Looking to get them off late October

Hey prince,

If a bank doesn't ask for a cover letter (so they have questions instead), do I still need to include one with the CV? I think someone upthread said yes but will I be disadvantaged if I don't?

Don't include a Cover Letter unless they ask you to. There is no disadvantage since most IBs won't even bother reading your Cover Letter since they don't like extra work.

target degrees aren't a thing

If you're in the first year of a four year degree then you need to apply next year. So you have plenty of time.

If you have no idea what the divisions are, you definitely need to do a lot more research on banking. If you don't know what a banker does, why do you want to become a banker? It's like saying you want to become a doctor without knowing what a doctor does. And yes, of course you need a CV! Not just for banking but for pretty much any job.


I'm genuinely amazed at the guy's questions.

Did a 20min f2f interview in the morning with ICAP HR. Got an e-mail yesterday to schedule the interview time and HR said she would be interviewing ppl for the next few weeks lol
:afraid:
How important are cover letters and the capability questions for the application, do recruiters actually read them properly? Thanks :smile:

Quick question. Does anyone know when the banks will reveal the actual dates of the spring week programs? If they have already stated it, does anyone know where I can find it? I'm having trouble finding the dates of the actual programs, I'm trying to look for clashes. Thanks*
