Ha! I just moved into a new flat and have spent the last week glued to my laptop, applying and doing tests! My housemates must think . . . GIMP! Although I'm off to a Jose Gonzalez concert with one of them tomorrow, which should provide some relief. I've done a LOAD of apps, all sent at the end of last week, and status is as follows:
Morgan Stanley - invite to AC (fast tracked)
Credit Suisse - probe day on trading floor in January (contact)
Nomura - under review, after tests
Bear Stearns - under review, after tests
UBS - tests passed, CV under review
Deutsche Bank - under review, after tests
Citi - under review
BNP Paribas - telephone interview
BarCap - telephone interview
Bank of America - under review
HSBC - telephone interview
Lehmans - under review
Goldmans - under review
Merrills - under review
Reason I'm doing so many apps is because I need to be 100% certain of a summer internship; I need the cash a) to go to Thailand this summer and b) as start-up capital for a small business I want to get up and running for next year at uni.
Also, will be great when I'm finished applying and can just sit back and wait for responses - it didn't take all that long; certainly no more than 30 mins per app . . . I just hate it when there are technical problems with the online forms. I applied for Equities S&T at all but Morgan Stanley where I was selected for F/I S&T, btw.
Good luck to all of you!
