nope only securities. You have a seriously small chance coming from USC though. I do not think I know of 1 kid in the SA class from there (though there may be a few). All the spring kids came from NYU, WHarton, Harvard, Princeton, and a few scattered
But don't they want to be diversed in terms of geography. i mean usc is one of the best business schools(i might be biased) in west coast. I really hope my contact in GS would help. McGyver, were you in that program? if yes, wts it like? thanks
.
No I was not but I do know the kids who were (I already had my offer). They said it was mainly observing but then there was one project that they had you do. If I remember correctly, it was some analysis on a the desk coverage area or a pitch or something small like that. It is only a week. Any time with GS traders is a good experience but it is only 5 days.

Can anyone that has done this program or know anyone that has been involved comment on the experience?
What does the program entail and how many students receive SA offers?
Many thanks.

Oh and about USC being "one of the best" business schools, it may be true on the west coast but it really is insignificant in terms of bank recruiting despite what anyone tells you. At GS, the biggest schools in order (if I remember correctly) are Wharton, Harvard, *Princeton , NYU, *Duke, Columbia, and so on (Duke and princeton might be switch but NYU is #4 for sure and Harvard #2 with Wharton at #1 for firmwide SA positions). Stanford was like #10 and it is leagues above USC so that just gives you an idea. I am sure these are not the exact same demographics for all banks but they are somewhat representative of the distribution. And please to anyone who is going to write something stupid like "oh well this list is BS etc etc.." don't talk because I know more than you about it, case closed. That said, I think you do have a chance if you are smart enough at getting an internship because there are always kids from no name schools like UT or Texas-San Antonio (and even Howard) that get in, though some of it is clearly for diversity recruiting, though not all, obviously.
Goldman Sophomore Spring (Originally Posted: 01/05/2011)
Hi everyone, I had an interview before Christmas for Goldman Spring program and I thought it went pretty well. In the end, I told the interviewer I will be out of the country for the following month, so she took my international number and said she will be in contact over the break. I haven't heard anything since then though. Also everything happened through the phone, so I don't have her email address and I was unable to send her a thank you note/ inquire about results. I am starting to worry, does all this mean I failed? Has anyone heard back from the spring program yet? Thanks!
When I did it I don't think I heard back this early. Also, how did you manage not to get all the relevant contact info and not send your interviewer a thank you. If I were that interviewer, that right there would be enough for me to reject you.
GS Spring IBD Internship for Sophomores (Originally Posted: 02/24/2009)
Hey guys, I'm new here (reader for a while, but first time posting), but I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on the GS Spring IBD Program for sophomores. Other forums don't have much advice or content from alums of this program, and I was just wondering if anyone could shed any light. Not to sound like a fcking douche, but what is the best way to get asked back for next summer? Also, what is the retention rate/how much of an opportunity are you given to showcase your personal ability? Is it a shadowing thing, or do you have individual work that you complete and submit for evaluation by personnel there. Thanks, and any info would be much appreciated.
did u get any updates on ur application status?
Yes, I was accepted for the week of March 16-20. What about you?

GS Sophomore Spring Program Interviews (Originally Posted: 02/04/2008)
I have a first round interview on campus for this (Securities division) later this week. Does anyone know what to expect (eg does HR perform the interview)? Also, will this program be extremely difficult to get in given that I am a white male?
Just had this interview last week. My advise is be yourself. You'll be fine. I was called the next day upon my acceptance to the program, which I am extremely thrilled about it and cannot believe that it happened.
Do you know if this program is actually competitive? Isn't it exciting how the TOP/STRONG performers get summer offers? I'm wondering on the stats of that.
Yes, the program seems amazing and I hope to be as lucky as you. So there are no second rounds? Also, who gave you the interview - HR or someone else, and was the interview mostly fit? Many thanks.
Two HR reps gave me the interview. It was completely fit, expect for a "pitch me a stock" question.
Thanks for the info - I really appreciate it.
Agreed with grandpabuzz. Good Luck.
Thanks again - very helpful.
Just so you know, 15ppl per round are accepted so it's not highly highly impossibly competitive lol (still pretty tight though)...So total of 45 ppl are accepted. I just hope more than half get the internship and not just like 2 out of 45 lol..
hey I had my interview with them last tuesday, my was a phone interview since they dont come to my campus, do you think they have filled all 45 slots if I havent heard anythign yet? Did u feel like you nailed the interview by the wya?
They visit several targets for on campus recruiting. After these interviews, people hear back within 2 days.
The number of non-targets they take likely depends on the number of qualified people at targets. They are probably waiting for target recruiting to finish before notifying you.
oh ok that makes sense, thanks, did you hear back from them yet?
Yes, I was fortunate enough to land a spot.
