Wanted to start a thread to see where everyone's at in terms of applying for the sophomore Global IB program for summer 2025 at Bank of America (NYC was my first choice). When should we expect hirevues and superdays to come out? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hirevues are already out, released yesterday, from what I heard it was very competitive
Really? That early? Currently waiting for a project done to improve resume, should I wait or should I apply asap?
yeah bumping the above comment - are you sure? I even heard from some alumni from my school who works at BofA right now and they all told me that hirevues will not be coming out very soon as application just opened less than 2 weeks ago. Haven't gotten anything yet.
Connected w some VPs and they said similar to this
i think this guy might be just be screwing w you guys
Ding ding ding
Could anyone provide more information about the Global Markets Sustainable Finance Sophomore Summer Analyst Program or the Global Sustainable Finance Group (GSFG)? Having trouble finding sufficient details.
Also curious if applying for the Sophomore SA counts towards the Junior SA application limit. Is the limit of three North American positions per year contingent on the year of internship or application?
No I don't think it affects the limit of three thing. It's based on each recruiting cycle i guess. Your junior SA will open in Spring 2025 which will be different than this sophomore
Have a very good friend working in this group. They are technically a part of the S&T division but do a decent amount of modeling. Mostly providing credit for green energy infra as well as figuring out how to structure deals to benefit the most from the IRA.
Would you be willing to DM, would love to learn more about the team
Do you guys think that the questions are mostly behavioral? If not what should I focus on studying.
I’d say study techs
I've heard it can get super technical. My friend from last year told me he got a question about the math behind the black-scholes option pricing model and how it differs between American and European call options.
For IB, this doesn't make sense. This is a more s&t type question. They are pretty simple answers. The second one would be the American option can be exercised at any point and the Black Scholes is made for european, which has to be exercised on the expiration date. The math I would say its just plugging in the variables into a partial differential equation and return the fair price of the option.
Anyone got a hirevue?
pretty sure hirevues are not out yet but should be coming within the next week
did any of yall have referrals for the sophomore program when applying?
Yes
yes
yes
Does anyone know if Chicago office will be hiring people for sophomore summer 2025?
does anyone have any advice as to how to go networking?
Not worth it
d
anyone got any updates?
No updates so far for me
Following
do you have to be diversity
probably, only very few spots for non-diverse
where do you people come up with this stuff
Hard networking needed for non diversity?
Does anyone know what does the pre-university thing mean? Do we have to include our high school in the CV too?
Bumppppppp
Non-target non-diverse candidates are getting cooked alive right?
Is there even any sense in applying…
Even target non-diverse has no shot
Not true. My friend (who is the opposite of diverse) got in last year without any connections. I would just recommend putting your best foot forward.
Believe superdays are usually the end of July. Looking at resumes and hireviews before that usually take 2-3 for that to play out so should give you an idea on timing.
heard from someone working at BofA IB that they release 1st rounds this week. Not sure if that's just for her school's team or for every applicant
do you have to network to get a hirevue?
No not necessarily, ik a couple ppl who got the internship without any networking
Do you think target non diversity needs to network for a shot?
has anyone gotten a hirevue yet?
are hirevues coming out next week?
i know an associate at bofa... he said they're reviewing resumes this week and hirevues should be out next. very accelerated interviewing schedule after that with offers out by the third/fourth week of july
if you sent an application today are you screwed?
Wondering the same thing Ng
Wondering the same thing
probably
Anyone know when hirevues are out?
Anyone know when hirevues are out?
dk
did employee tell you?
when this week
Posting is closed, hirevues out soon
Source?
Posting is gone
Semi reliable source said expect hirevues today or tmr
Are non-diversity folks gonna get anything? Prob should get my hopes down
Idk, I’m semi target + non diverse, not a whole lot of hope
Same here, target and just kinda hoping for the best. Good luck brotha
anyone get anything yet?

Anyone hear back for a hirevue?
Negative
what time do they normally come out
Idk, I’d assume by 5:00pm tonight or tmr during the day
Does anyone know when hirevues come out for other divisions, like S&T or GSFG?
Prolly later, maybe a couple weeks
Prolly later, maybe a couple weeks
check portal, rejections out
Mine still says looking forward to review your application
same
same, dude is trolling
Hirevues are out
what time did u recieve
do they release hirevues at the same time, so is there no hope for those who didn't get it rip
Nah I’m joking I don’t think they’re released yet
I got a first-round interview today for LATAM. Is that a HireVue? They said "select a slot" though, so I am prone to think this is with like an actual person. Context: non-target school, diverse.
Recruiter told me offers come out first week of August
Wuts LATAM
Latin America
Was it a phone call or the video recording thing?
Just got an email to schedule a slot. Haven't done it.
not a hirevue, requires fluency in spanish
Is that for LATAM only?
Recruiter told me that they put a lot of emphasis on ppl w/freshmen internships and discard basically everyone else
having a freshman internship is the bare minimum so understandable
I also got the same, where you able to schedule a time slot? When I try to it says no time slots available check back later. Let me know.
same, still no slots
did anyone get 1st round/hirevue for S&T or just IB?
Just IB I think
Are hirevues out for IB?
so ib hirevues (excluding latam) are out or no?
i think LATAM is out not normal IB?
So are Hirevues for IB out or not?
latam is out, so prob general ib is gonna be soon maybe tmr or early next week
Comment under this if someone hears back today
i think we will hear back by 5
Rejections are out, check portal for status
.
Literally wish I was trolling
.
.
anyone know when hirevues (or rejections) come out? S&T NYC btw
Top applicants received first rounders today. My diverse friend from HYP got one
at a top semi-target + 2 freshman year internships as well as referral from an MD at BofA. What else does one need to do lmaoo
how'd u manage MD referral?
Diverse?
these internships are targeted towards strong target + diversity
only for LATAM
Can i PM u?
Will rejections be sent out today
Just FYI every date that's been posted on this thread has been wrong
PM ME LOLLL I KNOW
Allegedly all hirevues are out, 90% went to LatAm, and the rest is nepo/ diverse targets
Are there multiple rounds or is this it? Haven’t received any communication or rejection from the team.
source? is this also for IB?
This young Analyst 2 is joking with everyone again… if I’m wrong, please share source
Analyst at BofA, and only IB so far. S&T, and others haven’t been released yet
Target/Diversity?
Mine says under review, does yours say rejected?
I still have Application Received
same
what does it say
Chat, are they done with sending hirevues? Alos, anyone has problem with loggin in the portal, if so, what should i do, thx.
Consensus is that nothing has been sent out and everyone that has said that is trolling everyone like Analyst 2. Also, had the same problem as you logging into the portal. Used my school email to access the portal, then reset my password successfully once using my school email. The next time I tried to log in, the email associated with the portal changed—yes, changed!!!—to my personal email, to which I had to reset my password again using my personal. I'm still confused why or how, but try that.
I used my schoo email to log in but didn't work, then requetsed for changing password and did not get a link, sos
They’ve been sent, and I guess that’s their way of rejection by not letting you in.
Sure monkey
Are the rumors about the portal rejections real?
More or less
Has anyone heard when Hirevues are expected to go out?
Yeah
Just got an email for a hirevue 10 minutes ago
Same here!
YAY GOOD LUCK😻
Anyone else get one? Do they typically come out in waves?
i got one
anyone want to post hirevues when done?
i got one-- all ib hirevues are out i believe
is this for ib?
yes
Are hirevues out for S&T too or just IB?
i haven't gotten anything for S&T so hopefully just IB
just got a HireVue
an hour ago or more recently than that?
Diversity?
Anyone know how technical superdays are for sophomore internships?
mostly behaviorals w/ very basic techs
Are you cooked if you haven’t received a Hirevue yet?
Looks like it
this is so sad, no hirevue 🥲
Did anyone non-diverse get a hirevue for IB?
yeah
What is the HireVue like and how many attempts do you get?
How many questions and how much time?
It says mod team deleted my comment… weird… anyway in my BofA portal they say “we have decided not to move forward with your application” so take that as you will.
- non diversity
- no referral
- non target
- Very relevant internship experience this summer
- great GPA
Interesting. I haven’t gotten a hirevue but no rejection yet
Confused why my portal still says "Application received" with no email yet. Target, nondiv
in the same boat
