BofA IBD SA 26 London
Are there any updates on the Bank of America IB process for SA 26 London? Has anyone received a TI or AC yet? I know someone who got reached out to for a "background check" which turned out to be a mental math/commercial awareness interview. Otherwise, all I keep receiving are these emails:
Your application for Investment Banking 2026 Summer Analyst - London is under consideration. We will be in touch with you at our earliest opportunity on the next steps of your application.
Bump. Have not received anything yet.

I have “30min quick zoom call regarding” next week with an associate. What might that be?
I am sure this is the next stage. When did you get the invite and when did you apply?
I would be hesitant to call it the next stage because for ibd BofA its traditionally HV->AC and ive seen that people have been getting these calls/meetings but they’re most likely a pre screen for the ac for some candidates ie a few people who get to the AC will get it most likely and they’re probs just testing you for commercial awareness and fit etc to be pushed forward to the AC. So its most likely not a concrete next stage but a step that some candidates have to do to get to the next stage with others going from HV->AC as ive seen on Glassdoor by people with BofA offers that the process if HV->AC but some will get the pre screen associate zoom thing id guess.
One thing ive seen some candidates get is like after 4 days to a week after the hirevues a few people i think 3 out of the 850 person Bristol tracker WhatsApp gc were emailed by a member of the recruitment team for their predicted graduation date and they said that it was strange because it was on their CV and app already, and a couple of them i think one or two of those 3 got a sec/encrypted mail that doesnt appear on the communications tab of the portal where a named member of the recruitment team reached out to tell them their app was currently under review, not the stay connected emails that everyone gets but a separate one that doesn’t appear on the list of communications on the portal. Hope that helps
So it appears that no one else has gotten an AC?
To my knowledge on the tracker GC and other gc’s and other sources it doesnt look like anyone has one yet but maybe in the unlikely case 1 or 2 people maybe but none that i have seen so far, probs gonna come out next week or smth
I got two emails from Bofa, one asking for the predicted and the second like a week ago, saying we are still considering you
did you do a TI as well?
First AC’s will be at the start of November, wouldn’t expect anyone to hear about an AC for the next week or two
The person who posted above is correct, there are ad hoc phone interviews for certain candidates.
Not sure about the above comment since I got interviewed 2 weeks ago and it was called a first round interview. It was also a video call
On the call, I was told this was the stage before AC
I was also told this
Yes they can be calls / zooms etc at the discretion of the person doing it, there’s quite a long lead time to review CVs
Assuming it went well would expect you to hear about next steps in coming few weeks if you are progressing
So does not receiving a phone call mean you were dinged?
I wouldn’t think so yet because on last cycles thread there were people who got a teleephone/zoom interview and then got ac but there was also a large subsection of people who got the ac after the hirevue and diddnt have to do a ti so I would wait till the start of November for when ac either take place or start coming out to see what happens.
Does anyone have any information re when AC's will be held, or what the timelines were for the process last year?
During november
Does anyone know if the email asking you to indicate a preferred track (for markets) is indicative of anything?
Anyone heard back about AC yet for GCIB?
Had an interview last week with an associate after HV. They told me they’d get back within two weeks if my profile was selected.
Just received this:
{Thank you for your interest in Bank of America.
Your application for Investment Banking 2026 Summer Analyst - London is under consideration. We will be in touch with you at our earliest opportunity on the next steps of your application.}
I had my interview 2 weeks ago is it over? Many ppl have had interviews 2+ weeks ago but haven't heard of any AC happening
Based on what ive seen on last years forum and other sources (im going to guess you applied to the GCM position where a ti is mandatory), that an ac for GCM had come out like a week ago for some people as there was post on this forum about it somewhere and will probs run till end of November, early December. But for ibd ie not markets, sales and trading or GCM etc. weirdly there seems to be 2 streams that they run ie the one that is seen here ie the HV-TI-AC where ti’s are ending this week and ac’s coming out either start of next week or the week after, but probs week commencing 27th of October, and also another route of HV-AC ie some candidates bypass the TI, and that is normally for high performing hirevues, with HR maybe contacting them for info like predicted grad date etc after the hirevue, as on last years thread people had ti’s but there were also people who did not do the ti and went straight to an ac due to stuff like good HV etc and the Ti assessing the people who did well but not exceptional or had other info like ie if i say im fluent in french they may test it on the ti etc (ie the majority) and then a small subsection of those that did well in this part progress. I’d imagine a typical ac to be 40% of those that did the ti and 60% of those who skipped the Ti or the other way around. Ie so the person who said that the ti is the next stage is most likely false but also right in a way that it is the final stage before the ac for some but not all. Anyway apologies for the long spiel of text was just typing as i thought soz.
any updates for AC yet?

Has anyone received AC ?? Supposed to be out this week right?
Received nothing

I just got it a couple of hours ago, only did HV before and was asked for A levels by HR
Congrats!!
Division?
Hey just wondering if you've been told the format of the AC? I only received a very generic timeslot
Congrats, also have only done HV and was asked my predicted grad date by HR even though its on my cv and app, so hopefully that translates to an ac but idk but does anyone else know what it means when HR asks for info like this?
likewise, nothing after the PI 2 weeks ago
Same here

Did the TI and got an AC invite a few hours ago.
when is it for?
AC today too. Was told by friend of friend to be well prepped and also mentioned people have been sharing questions and giving them to question banks lol
fuck this man i dont want to have my hopes up but i really wish cheating was less prevalent
it's not a trivia test it’s more about delivery under pressure.
most people “know” the answer. few can say it cleanly. structure it fast. do the math. defend one follow up. keep it tight.
get reps in saying answers out loud. record yourself. etc.
what are people using? a lot of sharing in disccords but where else, know that some clubs also have resources
friend at LSE and people there use mаrginofаlpha a ton and then you also have trackr subgroups etc.
do you think they sent all the invites (for AC) yesterday? or is there still hope?
its over man
Anyone done GMSP?
so all Acs out ? i had a TI 3 weeks ago and i thought it was ok but have not heared anything. is it just an email ?
Don't think they are all out yet. Probably will have ACs running next week as well.
Anyone know ac to offer rate? Is it around 50%?
do you know if they're all done or still releasing more?
Bump
bump
Less, I would say broadly 1/3 - 1/4
Will there be more ACs for IBD?
and to get an offer all 4 interviewers need to say yes? or one person needs to push for you
del
Anyone know how long it takes to hear back AC outcome?
Did anyone who did not do TI get an AC?
nearly all ppl in ac did ti/vi
Did anyone receive an invitation today?
Bump
I wonder what's the percentage of AC invite/TI.
I thought I had a good TI but no AC, very disappointed.
same
Does anyone know when offers are expected to come out? Are they all at the same time?
Was wondering the same. I had my AC 3 weeks ago and havent heard back yet.
some offers and rejections have come out
