Freshman, 4.0 from Ivy target, non-URM here. Just got my rejection email through career services - not even an interview. Not surprising though, since most freshmen with 1 semester of classes don't know jack about finance anyway.
Wondering if anyone else heard back...please list stats and URM status if possible.

I'm a sophomore at a non-ivy target with a 3.5. I have not heard back from them yet.
Probably dont have much of a chance of getting an interview right?
If there are any past applicants on here who were successful in getting an interview/offer, could u please share ur stats?
It's likely to be targeted towards URM's only, so don't be too discouraged.
im a soph too - 3.9 semi-target, but w. prior ibd and consulting exp. still havent heard anything
Just submitted mine, soph at Vanderbilt 3.8 gpa. I'm white.
JPM Honors isn't targeted at URM's, I'm not sure why that label gets thrown around. It is a very tough program though regardless. Everyone I know was top target with GPA's above 3.8 and had some experience. It's a tough group, I had a friend who had a 3.75 from Yale and worked Risk at a BB as a Freshman and he didn't get an interview and he's URM. I have friends who have 3.9's from strong targets who've been rejected, its a crapshoot so don't get down from it.
