Had my first round yesterday, anyone heard back yet for second round or next steps? Curious to see where everyone is in the process and when we should be expecting to get updates.

Had R1 on Mon and waiting to hear back
Same
They declined me despite having 4 relevant internships with a EU non target. Those who got first rounds, what are your backgrounds?
Good grades from UK target, EB IB OC internship, MF REPE internship, MM REPE OC internship
Respectfully, why are you applying to Arma Partners? Going from "EB" and "MF" to Arma Partners internship?
US target, US BB, US M&A, PE and VC experiences
That’s fair, both better profiles then me.
Good luck gentlemen.
Had the same issue when I applied, Arma definitely let's in weaker profiles though. Likely it's just more competitive this year.
because these bums with 5+ internships keep applying for internships, of course it will be competitive, as the new standard apparently will be to have 2 years of internship experience to secure an interview for an internship lmao.
Got R2 invite yesterday
Damn I must have got dinged then
I thought I did really well
Hey did you hear back from them after 2nd interview?
Yeah got dinged the next day
Superday invitation should be out, news?
From what I'm hearing competition is really though this time
Rejections are out- out despite 12 months M&A + 6m PE large cap
edit
yea... have an in-house modelling test, lets see how that goes
can you share insights on this, and your background? I'll try again next year
Hey what was the start date for the sept intake (is there training before the sept start or does training start in sept)?
