I'll wait till the 4th April which is when they said is the latest we will hear back, and if I still haven't got a response I'll pretty much just give up

Really? They told us we should hear back by latest 4th April, so it's not fully over right. I spoke to a guy who got accepted to last years one and he found out he got accepted way after everyone else did *15th April* he said

maybe but from what ive been told there's only around 70 places and they've probs already have picked everyone by now butttt well not everyone goes bc yk how its 2 dates in july and august and they assign you which date well some people cant go on some of the dates so they will have a sort of have a "waiting list" so the places which applicants who cant attend will be given to other people hence that guy got accepted by the 15th april was probs on the waiting list and got luckyish im guessing. I'm in a similar situation Im in the interview stage but they havent told me which date in july or august they've selected me into all im hoping its not july because i have a school rugby tour so i wouldnt be able to go. gl with ur application

Oh wow so they replied fast, do you think you did really good on the assessment? When did you apply? Cus I applied on the same day it went live so I probably got rejected then; was kinda expecting a rejection email atleast to say "we will no longer be moving forward with your application " or something.

I acc applied really late, a couple of hours before the deadline I was worried that I nearly missed it. When it came to the assessment I got a friend to create a fake account so we could see all the questions prior. We knew the questions which were like "please rank which option u would most likely" but they didn't seem important. The questions about recording yourself were the key ones. We then js created like really good responses and memorized our answers and ig it worked better than we expected.

Damn, do you know if the selection process is done? Or maybe how many they've accepted? It's not April 4th yet and I've got no reason to believe I did bad on the assessment

I'm gonna apply for jp in London too yes however I think they cancelled for this year. Last year applications opened so early, plus I could've sworn I saw applications for jp morgan london early in January of this year. I'm not sure.

Yeah there's no chance they went through every application. However probs passed mine since I did my assessment the next day it went live and they recruit on a rolling basis. I don't know if i5 means they specifically accept people on a rolling basis ajd if they meet the max, they just leave the others orr

I did my assessment the day before the deadline so that may have something to do with the long wait

I'm not sure, however I did mine super early however I genuinely don't think I did bad enough to get rejected, their recruitment process isn't something we can predict I guess

Lol that's clever I also did the assessment just a few hours before the deadline haha
