I heard they are specifically focused on the College Freshman, any one in this program before, it's a pretty intense application selection process, any suggestions?

Is this open to anyone or is it targeted to minorities? It looks like a good opportunity, especially for someone as young as a freshman.
I'm applying for this as well. I read that it's geared towards uni students completing their first year, but i think sophomores are considered as well...
"You'll need to be enrolled in a bachelor's degree program at an accredited university and have completed your sophomore year of university prior to the program start. In addition, we look for students who are academically strong so you'll also have to meet minimum GPA criteria of a 3.4. "
Seems like a sophomore program to me.
Yes, the Emerging Talent - U.S is geared towards sophomores. You can read a bit more about it via this post they made on their Facebook page (search: UBS Careers, and scroll down a bit and you will come across their post about this program. A few applicants have been commenting on it, and UBS is quite diligent in replying. So checking that out may help.)
Anyone here back yet?
Interested as well
Still no news on my end, anyone else?
Hey I was wondering if someone knew if this program was segment by divisions. For example the investment banking people go to one team and the Wealth Management go to another?
First round notices went out today (3/8).
Edit: this is for North America
Do you mean 3 out of the 8 people being selected in North America (as in the New York location) have been selected?
3/8 means the date. I don't know why they would send them out on a Friday, so I'm kind of skeptical. Considering I thought I had a good chance...
Has anyone gotten any an email a first round?
Yes, 3/8 is the date (March 8th), and it is for the NYC location. I posted an edit today when I remembered different regions have different processes. I don't know if they will send rejection emails, or if they have done so already. I received a first round email Friday, but I don't know if it's staggered, etc.
A friend from my school (target) got notified Friday as well, I'm going off the assumption that I didn't get a first round. Is this program diversity oriented? Wasn't aware of it when I applied. Would you mind sharing a little of your background?
I don't think it's diversity oriented. If you look at their website ( https://www.ubs.com/microsites/emerging-talent-program/en/home.html ), it never mentions diversity recruiting. The program is part of their education initiative: https://www.ubs.com/global/en/about_ubs/media/switzerland/releases/news…
I go to a top 20 semi-target majoring in engineering with a great GPA and have previous finance experience at local shops.
Has anyone received a decision for the first round interview?
Did anyone apply to the program in Zurich? Also, when do you think they'll inform first round interview candidates? Thanks.
I got a rejection email from them today. I was pretty surprised, but it's their loss. All the best to first years looking for internships, because I'm finding it pretty tough.
Same here. I'm pretty confused. I'm a Swiss citizen at a target and a Physics-Econ double major. I'm definitely applying next year though.
US first round decisions have been out for a while and superdays are scheduled in two weeks. Good luck to all of you.
haven't heard anything. if we don't hear by friday, i'm tempted to send the rep an email
I got notified that I am offered a secound round interview for the Zurich program, however I haven't been told when it will take place and where. Anyone of you has more information about second rounds in Zurich?
Hey, I haven't heard back yet. What about you? Do you know any news?
Yeah I received a call last friday, I have a final round phone interview with a business rep next week.
has anyone heard back from the NY superday?
does anyone know if this is paid?
Got an offer in the london office, Any one else received an offer?
anybody got an offer as a freshman?
Freshman Summer / UBS Emerging Talent (Originally Posted: 04/19/2013)
Hi All,
I am trying to figure out the best way to spend my freshman summer to best pursue a finance career. I am a Canadian who will be a freshman at an Eastern American University this fall. Any advice or suggestions for this summer is much appreciated!
Also, I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with the UBS Emerging Talent program, and has any relevant information about it? It seems like it would be really selective, but a great stepping stone to an IB career.
