Hi guys I have been looking around on the net and can't find anything about the application deadline for this and my campus career services office didn't even know the program existed. Anyone know of a timetable I should expect for the application and any more information other than what's posted on the UBS site?

Applied a little while ago. Haven't heard back.
keep us posted
Anyone hear back yet?
I applied late February. Still haven't heard back. Wondering if anyone else has?
I applied a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure that the deadline to apply was March 9th; however, I'm not positive. Also have not heard back.
Has anyone heard back?
just heard back. didn't get it. best of luck to everybody
how did they contact you?
just via email. I too am surprised by phone rejection. He must've offended them to provoke an in-person rejection hahaha jk. But best of luck to the rest
my friend said that he got a call from them, so im just curious how they're reaching out to people
oh, and anyone is curious, my friend who applied had a 3.8+ from a semi target/target and didn't get in i wonder who makes it in to these kinds of things
Wait, so just to clarify, they called him to tell him he didn't get in? is that really necessary haha, I think I'd rather get an impersonal rejection email than a rejection phone call
hmm weird, i haven't been contacted for a rejection or an interview. but glad to see that they'll probably be getting in contact soon
Anyone hear that got it?
The event is in May, so we won't hear for some time. IMO.
yeah, it looks like they have multiple rounds of screening and are just narrowing down applications in rounds or something
I know a few people who were notified they were rejected a few days ago
I just heard back via email that I didn't get it.
Anyone hear back from them???
Just got this

just got that same email as well. I'm guessing they're going to be giving out interviews in the next week or so
are you sure there is an interview process?
I'm not sure about this year, but looking through the forums for previous years it seems that there have been interviews given out.
Got an invite for an interview just now
same just got an interview
Ok weirdest thing ever: last week I got an email saying that I didn't get it, but I just got an email invited me for an interview?
I think some of their emails got messed up - they addressed me as "Vanessa"... my name isn't Vanessa haha. They sent me an email last week saying my app was under review though
Ya, just got an interview as well
Just heard back. Didn't get an interview, but did get an initial email saying my app was being considered. I don't know how I managed to get a sophomore BB internship but no interview for this lol
Good luck to all of you who moved on!
Anyone have any insights on the interview? I have to imagine that its all fit-based questions right?
So, the email said to respond to it to confirm that you are still in interested in and able to attend the program, and that the person would get back to us to schedule a mutually convenient time for an interview this week. I responded to the email, but haven't gotten a follow up about scheduling an interview time yet? Has anyone gotten this?
Exact same situation here
Let me know when you do hear. I'm starting to get concerned
I just got an email from them asking about my availabilities
Anyone know if Canadian students could have applied to this? Hadn't heard anything about it at my school.
Has anyone actually interviewed? Nobody has gotten back to me after I gave the dates I could interview.
My interview is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon
anyone already interviewed got accepted yet??
I just interviewed earlier today. My interviewer said we're supposed to hear back late next week
How long did your interview last?
Like 25 minutes tops
I imagine it was a behavioral interview, at this point they don't expect you to know technical information correct?
Yeah it was a HR interview so there isn't any technical questions. Mine was legit 15 minutes...
any offers to anyone yet?
they said early this week - either got to be today or tomorrow
Anyone heard back from them today?
I remember them saying "late next week" so we might not hear back until Friday?
Does anyone know what the actual symposium is like?
I'm not sure, but I've heard its 2 days of intense competition. There are trading games where you trade pizza and soda, 3 hours of straight modeling where the winner gets a job offer, and I also heard there is this weird dance competition. Those are just the rumors :(
Anyone heard anything yet? I interviewed on April 15th.
I interviewed on the 14th and have not heard anything yet.
Just got the invite!
Just got the email!!!!!!!
Got the email!
congrats guys! did anyone else hear back?
i dont think they given everyone offers yet
I sure hope not haha. I assume that we'll hear back regardless of if they accept of reject us.
Haha I hope not too!
Well, obviously offers are out :)
Got the invite as well!
just got invited!
got rejected, but congrats to you guys who got it!
anyone else who still hasn't gotten an email?
Just got an email that I am on the waitlist. Didn't even know they had a waitlist for this type of program. Congrats to who got it tho!
hmm okay will assume that I am also waitlisted then haha. thanks!
Replied to the acceptance email, but I have not received confirmation and travel stuff yet. Anyone been contacted about travel arrangements?
you guys know the acceptance rate/stats for this program? How competitive is it to get in??
1000+ people apply each year and they accept 42.
where did you get this stat?
