Top links please. I find a lot of stuff, don't know where to focus in the week I have left to prepare.

Search the site to find stuff on that topic.Concentrate on the technical "stuff" that you are weak at and skip over the "stuff" you already know.

Make sure you can answer the behavioral part - why banking, etc.

Come in and relax that day. Act normal and you should be OK. Good Luck.

 

Go invest 20 bucks for one of the WSO interview guides. They are pretty comprehensive and a bunch of friends of mine have used them for their interviews and say they help.

 

It is my understanding that decisions about a superday are still being made. I networked with a group who passed me on to HR and haven't heard back yet. Also nontarget

Depends, usually a combination of technicals and fit. Technicals would be your standard 3 methods of valuations, recent transactions that have happened. Focus on why JPM and why IBD. When you get into latter rounds the technicals become much more indepth---leveraging and un-leveraging beta, how three statements are affected three years after purchase of asset, ect. Focus on getting your story down--have a friend sit in front of you and ask interview questions such as why JP and tell me about yourself. Trust me, you may think you have the answers in your head, but when you go to answer them your words will slur and you will lose your train of thought...practice with a friend.

Good Luck.

How are you guys hearing back already? Our school resume drop deadline isn't until Jan 9...I'm assuming most people hear back after this?

Is this for NYC?

Yes

 

JPM has a very unique recruiting process where that they do a lot of on campus interviews, but they also do lots of group specific interviews at any time, so that a person can have a SA offer interviewing in October or March.

Oh I see...

If my school's (Top 5 school) resume drop isn't until Jan 10 or so, should I apply now and try to get interviewed early? Is there any advantage to this?

I was under the assumption that after Jan 10, they'd compile the resume books, and then pick the people for first rounds. I say this because we're only allowed to register online for on campus interview slots post Jan 15th.

Any clarification would be much appreciated!

If your school has a resume drop, you should be alright. This is mostly for people who have a contact with the bank and that mostly applies to non-target students.
