Official Investment Banking Summer Internship 2018 Thread

does rejection for summer analyst positions affect how they look at grad scheme apps? Basically my apps this year were substandard i think so i'm getting bare rejected and now my chances rely on grad schemes next year

Does anyone have any insight on the Nomura IBD AC / final round?

Can exchange for grad at DB IBD (first round) or Citi CMO (first + final round). Otherwise, if you are feeling in a good mood the advice will be still be mega appreciated haha.

No, summer has no significance for grad apps if you were rejected before meeting the bankers from the business.

How full are JPM and GS. I think that my country is usually one of the last they check....

Anyone heard from Barclays IBD? Submitted my CV about a month ago but still haven't heard back, although I was told I would hear back soon. Safe to expect rejection or?

Hi guys,

Oxford Econ & Management applicant here. Came second in the year in first year exams and have attended big bank insight days previously. Applied in August/September, attended campus events, play university level cricket, president of college cricket club and prepared for technical interview questions in interviews.

Still no offer and now only have GS and JPM left and both have not responded though I applied in September. Rejected from everywhere else.

What options do I have?

Feel like a loser.

Mate don't give up. I've just been offered Citi Private Banking after over 40 rejections (last springs and this summer) without even getting an interview from anyone.
I think the one thing that perhaps doesn't get enough credit is genuine passion and ambition, just make sure you are portraying that on your apps.

Look at me I got rejected from over 50 spring week applications; got 3 offers. Converted none of them (non-convertible spring weeks LOL) and still getting rejected left right and centre now :smile:

after 65 applications and counting (cue consulting applications when they open in December / over the holidays)

What’s the point of focusing on the negatives

Same position as you. I was about to ask this question actually.

Up until now i have been operating under the assumption that is good news (not hearing) as they have been rejecting people left right centre since CV upload. However they have also been inviting candidates for AC’s so I’m really not sure what the deal is with ours!
