JP Morgan Winning Women - Selection Process? Competitiveness?
I'm a freshman at a top target, and I recently submitted an application to the Winning Women event. While I've been able to find a lot of info on the actual events for the day, I still have no idea about what the selection process is like (phone interviews? several rounds of interviews?) or how competitive it is.
Has anyone gone through the process before?
are you interviewing for this next week?
i have a phone interview next week - would love to know what the interviews are like. should i expect them more to be like first rounds or more fit questions?
what do you mean like first rounds? you've already had a first round for this?
oh no sorry, is it more like first rounds for summer analyst positions or much less difficult
ohh. i read its mostly fit with some basic technicals, but not sure. mines next week too
good luck! hopefully we meet each other in ny
yeah for sure! gl with the interview, let us know how it goes!
i've heard it's really selective... right off the bat they eliminate about 50% of the population from getting interviews
as anyone heard back, do you know when we hear back? my interviewer said they're discussing candidates last friday
yeah my interviewer said that too. she guessed that we'd probably hear back this week
yeah i guess we'll be hearing back sometime later this week
Anyone hear back yet?
know chicks with less than 60% on the aptitude tests that got this, I think if u can spell ur name and tie your shoe laces your basically in.
(I realize your is misspelled, I am just lazy)
do they take "charm" and "look" into consideration?
Funny. Have not heard back, has anyone?
Anyone has heard anything back?
heard back today, send me a message if you're going. good luck!
^^ Ballingggg
hm so are we rejected if we haven't heard back?
maybe not - they had an rsvp option of "not attending" so if people drop out i'm sure there's a wait list or something
You might still hear back. For those people going to school further away they'd obviously try to expedite things, but if you're closer to NY they may take more time.
hm im not close to NY. i take it as a no then, oh well
has anyone heard back with a rejection? i haven't heard anything yet...
nope nothing. no worries, I'm sure we'll all get our rejections soon enough
I got a rejection email for it today.
I didn't realize it was so competitive - does anyone know what the criteria are? I'm a freshman from a top target (HYP) with a high GPA and pretty good activities/experience; just wondering what I can do to make my profile stronger. Do they tend to take mostly sophomores for this? Does diversity also play a role in this (e.g. African-American or Hispanic), or is it enough to be female?
sorry to hear that :(. the people i know who are going are mostly sophomores, all with good grades. i think work experience helps you stand out, and leadership positions in clubs (which generally are not given to freshmen). best of luck next year!
Did anyone else get a rejection email or didn't hear back yet? How do you check your application status? Did anyone who got an interview but got rejected?
I just applied for this. What kind of questions did they ask in the phone interviews? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Got invited to this and I'm going. What should I expect? What is the program like, is it useful, etc... I know there aren't many women here but thought I'd ask.
I did it last year. Its a day long networking event. You get to shadow someone in IB, S+T, or research for a half day. You eat lunch with the analysts and the guest speaker was the global head of m+a or something like that. At the end of the day you go through mock banking interviews. Definitely gives you a leg up.
It's a big networking event and if you impress, you can get a summer internship offer.
In general: 1. Meet as many people, get their business cards, follow up with them. 2. Bring a polished resume. Don't expect them to polish it for you! 3. Practice for the mock interview, have your "story" down and know why you want to do banking.
I wrote an article called "How to Win at J.P. Morgan Winning Women" on my site:
http://www.break-into-banking.com/jpmorgan_winning_women.html
I also recommend checking out the networking articles so you can brush up on your skills!
Is this event all chicks? So you put 100 banker chicks in a room at once hmm....
Where do I sign up
lol
i signed up for one of these by accident once. realised what it was (similar women IB initiative). realised what it was and didn't go. maybe i should have after all.
hold up you do well at a networking event one day and u can get a IBD/S&T SA offer at a top 2/3 investment bank? forgive me for my lack of political correctness but these diversity/women events have gone too far. The playing field is SO uneven right now.
You can get solid networking contacts from the event and it'll be easier to land an SA interview in the spring but to say that they'll give you an offer straight up is definitely not how it goes. Unless someone simultaneously applies for the diversity scholarship program which does give you an offer but you have to be hispanic/black and female for that.
"It's a big networking event and if you impress, you can get a summer internship offer."
"Unless someone simultaneously applies for the diversity scholarship program which does give you an offer but you have to be hispanic/black and female for that."
this is my point.
How long after the interview will they let you know that you got into the event? (or didn't) Is it immediately at the end of the interview or a week or so after?
And what kind of workshops take place at the event?

What is the selection process like (phone interview, etc)? and does anyone know how competitive it is/how many people they take? would especially love to hear from people who went to this in previous years
bump. also has anyone heard back for interviews? the event is in 2-3 weeks..
nice username lol
I applied on 10/6 and no I haven't heard anything yet
.
bump did anyone get an interview yet?
Haven't heard back either!
I just received an email about a phone interview. Anyone know what to expect?
Let's discuss this over drinks say Friday night.
so if we havent been contacted we didnt get an interview? womp
oh nooo :( guess we'll know for sure by next friday
Did anyone hear back about a phone interview? I've already had a phone screening with an analyst a couple days ago, but just got another email to set up another phone screening... Anyone with a similar process?
Had a phone screening/interview today. Said I would find out next Tuesday or Wednesday probably.
@runner23 - what was your phone screening like? behaviorals/technicals?
i had my phone interview on friday and they told me theyll let me know the results by wednesday
lisal92, what was the interview like? what kind of questions-- behavioral/technical?
email or chat me at lisaluu_1992 at yahoo if you want to know ! haha id rather not put it in the public in case..
just sent you a PM!
for those who got interviewed, what were your stats/prior work experiences? I have a 3.9+ gpa at a target and worked at a bank last summer. kind of surprised i didnt get an interview
not a girl - but on a similar note, I go to a target with near perfect grades, had relevant experience this summer and I didn't get picked for the UBS Voyager program. I'm actually confused about how resumes are picked for these kind of programs.
did anyone get officially rejected yet? And I'm guessing that the IB and AM events/interviews are mutually exclusive then?
I had interview last Monday, did not hear anything back yet. Did you guys receive any kind of news?
I interviewed last Thursday and I still haven't heard back. Getting nervous/excited/would just really like to know already!!
nothing yet but i heard we'll know by tomorrow
AHHH so excited.. i hope we all get to go haha
Me too! I've been checking my email like a mad woman haha
Me too! I've been checking my email like a mad woman haha
Let me know when you guys hear back; had my interview on Monday and I've been checking my email like crazy as well haha
Has anyone heard back yet?
bumpp
Got the reject email this morning :( kind of bummed. Guess it just wasn't meant to be.
Has anyone else heard anything? I still haven't received acceptance or rejection
same here. maybe we will get rejection soon.. haha, borderline candidates. did anyone get an acceptance yet??
@runner_girl_91, did you interview for Asset Management or Investment Banking?
I interviewed for Asset Management. Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back! I think that is probably a good sign!
I still haven't heard anything yet either
bump
bump
I think this post is mostly for people who interviewed for IB? Correct me if I'm wrong.. :/
Btw, AM candidates received acceptance emails this past Monday
They usually don't emai youl if you are rejected. And they usually send acceptances fast.
Just got an invite! Hope to see you guys there!
^^ from IB I'm guessing?
anybody else heard back anything today?
has anyone still not heard from AM? I interviewed Tuesday and they said they'd let us know either way likely on Wednesday but haven't heard anything
Still nothing. I think they should have enough respect for the candidates at least to send the rejection emails. Shows the culture of the company, that treats people like money-making machines.
Just received my acceptance! Hope to see some of you next week!
congrats! does anyone know if the acceptances are staggered? it seems that people are receiving them at different times
swq
still nothing. Should we contact them with a follow-up email?
same with me. debating whether to contact them or not
Did anyone get a reject though?
