Anyone know when decisions come out?
My guess is at least the end of this month since the program doesn't start until the end of Feb.

Btw the IB survey is indicative of nonething according to previous years threads.
can u link the threads? look like they didnt do this survey for previous yrs based on 2022
https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/investment-banking/2021-morgan-st…
Just get the IBD survey
does the location survey mean you got into the early insights program?
idk, it seems not correlated with in last year
was there an interview after the hirevue last year?
anyone hear back yet? crazy that they opened up the normal/non-diversity application so early
No
We’re reviewing applications this week. Interviews next week or the week after.
For early insights or regular?
Early insights. 4 of us will review and rank in buckets 1, 2, and 3 based on resume + hirevue
👀 bump my application up bossman
wonderful username, very wholesome!
Does getting the location preference survey mean anything?
Not sure, but I don’t think so.
What questions did you have on your phone screen last year? What did you discuss?
for early insights^
has anyone heard back yet?
bump
does getting invited to the firmwide virtual presentation mean anything?
I don’t think so
I didn't get this
does having a referral make a difference?

Got in! New York City office - target school
NYC IB? Email notification or portal check?
Just got the email. I think the invites have been sent out.
is this for IB or different divisions?
I got mine for wealth management
Got in for NYC - non target school
NYC IB?
Wealth Management
Just got invite for NYC IM.
any ib ones?
got gcm nyc!
when did you get the email?
like 20 mins ago
Does anyone know what we'll actually do during the program. Heard something about early interviews and networking but that's about it.
Yeah you get an early superday on day #2. Should say in the email.
Got one for MSIM - nontarget
do you think all divisions/programs will come out today?
Even if they do, they're probably still not all out since I heard back 3 hours ago and someone else heard back like 20 minutes ago
was yours IB?
have u heard back?
nope
I don't think the IB is out quite yet
Got in for wealth management. Also heard back from Guggenheim.
…..
Yes!
if anyone got in/gets in for IB please respond here!
Got it
when did you hear back?
I'm not quite IB but have a friend who got it
do you know when they heard back?!
got the email a few hrs ago!
I got in for ER - NYC. Does anyone know if we get an automatic super day if we got it?
Congrats!!! Do you wanna connect on linkedin? Yes it will be a superday sos. I'm also in ER!
Got in NYC IB-non target
Got in NYC IB-non target. I'm not sure i will be going tho.
If we put another location as our top preference, would we be interviewing for the regional office during the program?
Do they have a separate registration for black people like they did last year? I'm not seeing anything.
Same here. Not sure if its just a tech issue?
Me too! Mine is ny IBD but when I register it says the same tjing
Hey does this give us a superday or are the interviews only "mock" or first-round?
Read the email.
says interviews but it does not clarify
.
has anyone heard back for Technology (NY) or Company/Operations (NY/Baltimore)?
Anyone know how competitive it is? How many students are selected from the superday groups?
Filled out location preference for SF. Should I have heard back by now and would it be for the IB program in NY even though I interviewed for the SF one?
^ Have the same question
Anyone else get duplicate emails yesterday and today?
Sorta, but the one today was about using the right email to register and gave dates for virtual events before the real thing
Are these virtual events division-specific? I haven't received anything else besides the invitation yet
Bro anyone else's application "still being reviewed" and is that a bad sign?
yup mine is
yeah should I be worried??
any updates?
IBD nyc. got the email yesterday evening
target or nontarget?
between target and semi-target i would say
Have target IBD NY come out yet?
Deleted.
Today?
Haven’t heard anything. Target school.
Question: what is a target for Morgan Stanley?
top schools. public/private ivies.
What’s the conversion rate
Pretty high if I had to guess. Typically 20-30% for the general pool. I'd guess 40%? If they’re spending money to fly you in and host. No actual data though.
are we talking about summer internship offer conversion here?? 40% is super high i guess
If your application still says that it is under review, does that mean you were not accepted?
would like to know as well
Non target here. Mine came out on Thursday with everyone else
When taking my hirevue I took my time between attempts. Would this hurt my candidacy? I probably didn't get into the program, would just like to know for future reference.
Has anybody been emailed a rejection yet?
nope.
Anyone in Fixed Income? We can connect on LinkedIn and meet in person!
I am in Fixed Income as well!
I am in Fixed Income too!
im also in fixed income!
.
Does anybody have an insight on whether MS IB has sent out all of there acceptances yet?
I looked on Linkedin for random posts with "Morgan Stanley Insights" in the search function. So far I've seen two guys posting their acceptance, so they must've rolled them already. If there isn't more than one wave, then yeah, we're fucked.
Yeah the invites have been sent out
Are we done for if it still says “under review”?
I think they might still be rolling out acceptances because I haven't seen much on LinkedIn about it. But I am a little uneasy that they haven't said anything yet (I applied for the NYC office IB division) because it's supposed to be at the end of this month. But maybe it's taking longer considering that Morgan Stanley does cover all expenses and maybe their still sorting through that..
I agree because I received the acceptance email today.

Anyone got a rejection email? I’m super nervous about it when I see people are receiving good news for the last two weeks. Congrats to y’all. I’m still waiting for mine….
I also got acceptance email lik yesterday but they say the registration closes on 2/12. And I got into ibd early insights.
wow thank u for sharing this.
Does anyone know if we have a super day on the second day or if it’s just a first-round interview?
It's a super day on second day
HR rep says we're guaranteed a first round interview but not a superday
are u sure? It has always been a superday for the past I think
I think it's super day, i mean why would you be having a first round for three hours
was confused as well^^
has anyone received a rejection yet? My application still says "Being reviewed"
same. do they even send out rejections?
Just got my rejections.......
I’m guessing if you have not been extended out an invite then you probably have not been accepted, they have booked flights and hotels for people. Anyone going to be w MSIM?
What questions did you have on your phone screen last year? What did you discuss?
Hey guys, have you received the zoom link to tomorrow and Thursday's "virtual education series?" I haven't yet and was wondering.
Still waiting it, prob will be sent out tmr
Just got the links for both of the virtual meetings
What questions did you have on your phone screen last year? What did you discuss?
I didn't get an acceptance email but just now received a sign up email to tonight's firmwide virtual education series. Does this mean I'm in? I'm confused
What questions did you have on your phone screen last year? What did you discuss?
Yeah flights and hotels and amex gift cards have gone out. Though, when I did the program I think I got off some type of waitlist because they accepted me a couple days beforehand and the RSVP date had passed weeks ago. So I guess there’s always hope
Source: current first year analyst
Do you know if the interviews are first round or superday?
Did anyone in IBD receive a time for their first round interview or details about the second day?
Not yet and I think it is superday
Is the second day a superday
What questions did you have on your phone screen last year? What did you discuss?
Is the second day a superday?
first round
So, my Yale friend asked the HR last week, told that it’s superday, but one of the other friends asked HR and they were unclear. Tbh, go to the other post about MS normal round, u will see a MS analyst saying they have to wait all Early Insights results to be out to get to normal round, and it’s very unlikely they are doing first round next Monday and another round the week after cuz this will make the normal process extremely slow, but at this point, there is no meaning to guess whether it’s first or superday just prep
Anyone heard back after the interview?
What questions did you have on your phone screen last year? What did you discuss?
For the posterity, every division besides IB had a superday on day 2, IB gave phone call first rounds that you could schedule at any point from the last day of the program to Friday.
so, HR mentioned there will be two SPD for IB after the first round, do u know whether they will come out immediately or lik another week of waiting after SPD, cuz ik regular round is going to kick off soon. Thx!
Guess we'll fuck around and find out
