Getting Interviewed at an Investment Bank (3 Viewers)
- Thread starter mathemagician
- Start date
This thread has been a godsend haha. The summer internship applications actually closed on the 11th. I've got my first interview tomorrow morning but I can't sleep so I'm just doing some reading. It's lucky that my interview on Tues was double booked so I was moved and had time to read about it the process. Also a friend of mine did his first interview on tuesday so I got to find out about the questions.
Pretty psyched about the whole thing. Even more so that I only have a mid credit average but I have a wierd situation. I have a masters of science in medicine that I just finished with my credit average and I'm now doing my first commerce studies ever with another masters (in commerce). I think what tipped me over the edge though as well was that I am currently employed in management at a small company. Actually pretty excited. Anyone else doing their first interviews this week?

thank you..yook said:
I should hear from them sometime soon. The only thing that worries me about my bg is that my undergrad marks are crap. I have a bad average there, but I have a 70 (credit) avg for my masters of sci med and I now have a credit avg for my masters of comm (finc & acct). I'm hoping my two masters will outweigh my undergrad by a lot haha... other than that I have a great employment background too... haha we shall see. From the people I've talked to though, it seems like the risk management division that I went for is not the top choices by a lot of undergrads applying for internship
i'm fairly sure they normally have a 75 mark cutoff, but that's at the application stage. Seeing as you've already passed that it seems your work experience did outweight it, so i wouldnt worry.shandog23 said:
the next stage is all about character etc. hence the interviews
Well I've gotten my 'response' from macbank after my first interview. Just another emailing thanking me for the interview and that I should expect a 'response' from them within 10 days hahahaha... just tell me now!!!!
I'm taking this to say that I've probably been shortlisted maybe?? maybe half get the dear john letter and half get what I got?

Their cut-off's not that high. Everyone gets interviews.

That reminds me. Macq is just rude and arrogant.
Some people get called up for round 2 interviews (for example) nearly 1 month after others. I have friends who didn't get offers or find out they got rejected until some 2 weeks later (while some other people found out in the next few days).
No other firm does that.
