i'm an alum of the program; the program is open to all; my class was evenly split between genders and there was actually a pretty even distribution amongst black/white/asian and a few hispanic; although it is not specifically a diversity program, i believe they aim to get a diverse class comprised of students from an array of backgrounds. best of luck!

 
robes:
right, but as far as getting first round interviews is concerned, is it true that many non URMs actually get called for interviews?

i would say you should chill out a little and keep in mind that regardless if the candidate is a URM or not, there are only 18 slots for a program where over 1,000 people apply each year. Even if the program only took non-URMs, your chances of getting a call back would not change dramatically given how small the program is. Do your best and try to make the best impression in your interviews. That's the only way you can guarantee success.

 

It's legit for everyone. It's a pretty awesome program. I haven't gone through it but I interned there as a rising senior while all the rising juniors were in that program. They have pretty much no responsibility, get exposure to the entire bank, get paid well, and live in NYC. The only responsibility is giving a good enough impression to get an offer to come back the following summer, which isn't easy. So bring you're A-game.

 

Phone interviews occurred last week. Decisions were supposedly sent out yesterday. My interviewer said last week that around 1500 people applied, 100-120 people got phone interviews, approximately 75 people will get/got accepted.

 

Email with travel arrangement info came out minutes ago.

They do phone screens because they're the bank with the largest, most visible sophomore professional development program. Like the kid above said, about 1,500 kids apply for DB has the Demystifying Investment Banking Program. All of those are either smaller in scale or less-known than UBS' program; fewer people apply, fewer spots are available, and fewer get in. Only reason I list all the above is just because I either have been or am involved with all of them. See you guys there.
