iBanking internship help for newly transfered student.
I recently transferred up to a top school. Only thin is that i'm coming in as a second semester sophomore, so my graduation date is fall 2012. My question is can I apply to sophomore programs such as Goldman's diversity program, and the UBS conference? And on my resume should I put down expected graduation as Fall 2012 or Spring 2013? I have heard that banks hate Fall graduates, but I am thinking that there might be an advantage to graduating in fall, because you can spend January - March studying to ace the GMAT. What is the recruiting process like for Fall graduates ?
(I have searched this forum already but could not find a clear explanation)






put spring 2013..i transfered
put spring 2013..i transfered from a school and i am taking 5 years total in college, i suggest you do the same. take 12 credits a semester, get a 4.0 every semester, intern during the spring/fall, join a club or organization, take leadership positions, get involved on campus/your community, volunteer, go out to parties and meet people, network with alumni, go to informational sessions, have a good time. Their is no reason why you cannot have fun in college and get into banking or w/e you want to do.
Why do banks hate fall
Why do banks hate fall graduates?
2 friends of mine were fall
2 friends of mine were fall graduates (transfers) and one is @ Goldman and the other @ CS, IBD and S&T respectively.

I know it can be done, I was just trying to explore my options as to what would work best. I know that my school has quite a few guys at Goldman, JP morgan, Nomura and Barclays
My observation is that people
My observation is that people that are in a good position for recruitment (resume/experience/connection/etc.) will do fine regardless of their graduation date assuming there is a logical reason for having a fall graduation (ie transfer in your case, graduating early for some others, redshirted D1 athletes, etc.). There are very few data points and transfers tend to be atypical (most tend to be more focused if they're transferring 'up' and have more unique resumes), so I really don't know other than what I've seen. The transfers I know (from my target) who were interested in finance tended to have good GPAs, good ECs, and networked well, which may skew things. I don't think it necessarily is detrimental, you are just in a different situation.
I only had 2 friends with fall graduation dates that were interested in finance and both landed FT jobs--can't be THAT detrimental from my viewpoint, but I could be wrong. With the recent hiring spree (tons of people getting late FT offers from my school), I don't think so.
