BMO Shadow Program - Even worse this summer?

Any one hear if they were invited to the BMO Shadow program in Chicago?

Anyone participated in this program in the past? What opportunities are available through it? I've heard BMO does very few summer internships, and I can only imagine it will be even worse this summer.

Thanks

The program is a 3 day job shadow within their corporate and investment bank. Basically a 3 day informal interview I've been told.

 

I had a first round with them but was told a few weeks later I was rejected. Basically the interview was just a conversation with an alumn for a half hour. It sounded like they don't really have a summer internship program, but sometimes a few do get summer offers. Don't really know what that meant or how to go about pursuing a SA offer though.

 

Some basic questions. Really talk about how you want a MM and smaller bank with great culture, get to know the client, more responsibility at a younger age, ect. The IBD side definitely has a "We are not Goldman Sachs fetish going on."

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
 

don't know anything definitive. new analyst class is around 20-25 for the chicago office i think. maybe expect a shadow program class of around 15??
