if u havent heard back from them, its prob gonna be good news. i got a rejection email several days ago. good luck.
wait i just stalked you a little bit. you are a senior, the program is for sophomores and juniors!
I'm sorry to hear that rossgs210-but did you really hear back a rejection already???? Wasn't the application due date alone on October 29th???
haha. yeah. its kinds weird. just checked my email and i heard back on oct 17th. LOL.
Wow I am really sorry to hear that. Can I PM you asking a few questions about that please?
sure.
I thought that this was only for minorities?
we are all afrikan
This is the Barclays program correct? If so, I did apply back in the first week of October and am still waiting to hear back. Did anyone here apply to the GS Engineering Summit? I think the decisions for that program might come out earlier.
Also, just curious, did you guys get OCR for the boot camp?
On campus recruiting.
No I got zero OCR. What do you guys think the requirements are
What I meant by OCR was maybe your career services sent an email about it or there was a posting about it encouraging applications. I didn't mean to imply interviews or anything.
I think about 1000 total applications might be a reasonable guess.
I got a rejection email today. Good luck everyone.
whats with these rolling rejections going out?
nontarget kid when did you apply?
I sent in the application during the first week of October. I think they might be doing the selection process in rounds and I was dinged in the first round. Also, I did not apply cold. I did have a contact push my resume. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Good luck guys.
Was your contact high up/did he or she think she could get it done for you?
Seniority really doesn't matter too much. In fact, I've found that junior people are more likely to go to bat for you because they know what you're going through. Like I said, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It took me quite a few cold calls and emails to line up my SA position for this past summer and this year wont be any different. I'm just kind of disappointed because I had already visited Barclays on my own dime to meet with contacts and was hoping to have a second chance to visit. I also had a chance to see the trading floor during my visit. It was amazing and I'm sure that anyone who goes to the Boot Camp will be as blown away as I was. Good luck everyone!
Has anyone else heard back? whartonbetch have you heard anything yet from anyone at wharton?
nope i think they tell us no the 30th
Just got invited via email for a first round phone interview.
For the boot camp?
Midatlantica: was it a mass email or did your interviewer contact you? I'm trying to figure out if we didn't get an email to interview, if it means we didn't advance...
I also applied for the boot camp and am waiting to hear back. I'm taking the route of no news is good news, especially after hearing about rejections on a rolling basis. I can speak about the Citi program I applied to. Phone interviews were by individual recruiter, so there was as much as a week in time difference between candidates. I'm hoping the same holds true here! Best of luck to everyone.
does anyone know if the always do interviews? I've never heard of that
The email was from a recruiter. It seemed like a mass email to be honest, no Dear X. Just "Congratulations!...achievements....leadership..."
Just to assuage some of your anxiety, I was invited to attend other diversity events at banks without getting a phone interview while others from my school had one before being accepted.
Best of luck to all of you.
I didn't get a reply
got the same, congrats bla bla, and we have an interview on the phone for 15-20 min. and I believe is a mass email to all the people who are candidates...
LMAO this is great. i got an offer for goldman IBD and didn't even get a phone interview with barclays. see people how arbitrary recruiting is? keep at it!
Think they're done giving out interviews?
So .... does this mean if we haven't gotten a phone interview yet we have not been accepted to the program? i have never heard of them doing phone interviews before. So either 1. phone interviews were used to weed out candidates who are borderline or 2. phone interviews were given to anyone who qualifies as a potential candidate.
which one do you think it is? Whartonbetch have you heard anything from any other wharton kids?
If they haven't rejected you maybe you are on hold! I believe the phone interview is for people who qualifies as potential candidates!!!!
Has anyone else heard anything? Has anyone been accepted before without a phone interview?
To clarify, according to my contact within Barclays I am getting interviewed because I am not from a Barclays target school. So if you are at a Barclays target school I assume they will let you know whether you got in on Nov. 30th without an interview.
I think your info is not correct! I go to a target school and I had an interview, which I screwed up. the HR girl told me they are giving interviews because they had overwhelming number of applicants which were pretty competitive, and they are looking to take max 50 people.... So if you know anyone who gets accepted with no interview, then I am wrong!
Thanks!
Is Cornell considered a target school?
here's exactly what my rejection email said:
dear xxxx,
Thank you for your interest in our Investment Banking and Global Markets Bootcamp. We have now carefully reviewed your resume, and though your application was strong, we have a large number of candidates whose skill set and background more closely match our requirements so unfortunately we cannot offer you a place in the next stage of the recruitment process. Thank you for your interest and best wishes.
Regards, US Campus Recruiting Barclays Investment Bank
good luck to everyone else! sounds like a great program.
^^^ when did you get this email? recently?
11/7/12
If I go to a non-target and didn't get a call for an interview but didn't get rejected yet either, any idea what that means?
Should I e-mail or call to express my interest? Slash if I call who do I call...when I call their NY office and hit extension 5 I get routed to a voicemail lol
Just got an invitation to the program. Best of luck to all of you!
Midatlantica, nice are you at a target?
Just got my rejection email; I go to a target:
"Thank you for applying to the 2013 Barclays Global Markets and Investment Banking Boot Camp. You are one of many talented students who applied and we congratulate you on your academic and leadership achievements. As we received over 600 applications, the selection process was extremely competitive. After a very difficult decision, we are unable to offer you an opportunity to attend the 2013 Boot Camp. Please note that we are will not be able to provide you with specific feedback regarding your Boot Camp application.
As the Boot Camp is an early exposure opportunity with limited space, we realize that we are not able to select all talented target candidates. With that said, if you are currently a sophomore, we encourage you to apply to our Generation Next Sophomore Program. Applications are due on January 11, 2013. If you are a junior and haven't already done so, we encourage you to submit an application to our summer internship program. We will be sure to include you on future correspondence regarding recruiting events that we may host at your campus.
We sincerely thank you for your interest and look forward to meeting you at upcoming events.
Warm Regards, Barclays Diversity Recruiting Team"
