Haven't seen any posts about Centerview yet but seems like first-round phone screen are kicking off in the next week or so, if anyone has additional info on timeline that would be great thanks.

I’d be shocked if they r this early. last year it was September for non targets.
It's definitely this early. Source: Have already done a first round at a target.
almost 100% sure this is for SF/PA
Wow, looks like waiting off till September last year didn't payoff so well for them eh! Starting to see this trend now with a few places doing a reversal of their late recruiting timeline last year. MS, Moelis, Gugg, bit harder to tell for sure though because of the virus complicating things further. Will be interesting to follow.
nyc still fall
Am I the only one who can't decipher this sentence?
Anybody know if superday invites already went out? I'm pretty sure I got dinged after the first round, but I just want to make sure.
For SF?
Yeah for SF/PA. Have you heard back?
Just had an info session with them recently. They said that they would be starting recruiting for NY at the end of summer.
Top target?
Not HYP, but a lower top-tier/tier 1b, however the phrasing goes.
Bump am also interested to hear about SF/PA
I think this is just diversity recruiting.
centerview doesn't do diversity recruiting
Think the West Coast offices do, but it's only targeted for one college.
Is Centerview SA generalist across M&A and RX?
at nyc yeah
At my school's on-campus info session with Centerview, they said they were doing New York recruiting in September. So don't worry too much.
Can confirm on this
can also confirm
Do they do diversity recruiting
CVP doesnt do anything for specifically diversity, obviously there are some diverse analysts they hire though
They'll push up your timeline if you have a competing offer. Have a friend who just signed.
Does your friend go to HYPSW?
Is your friend accelerating diversity recruiting? Or non-diversity?
Yes to HYPSW and no, not diversity
Also have a friend at H who did this. Anyone have any idea how many SA spots they have? last I heard was around 20, not sure if that #'s increased since
Is this offer for nyc
Yes
Is SF recruiting over?
Was told picking up in August - September
I can find at least two people from Harvard already saying ”incoming summer ~” on LinkedIn. It seems CVP will start it on late summer or early fall but how this is all happening?
noticed this as well, maybe they had exploding offers and centerview accelerated?
Heard from a contact that one got the offer, and it was the first he/she ever got. So honestly, don’t know how it all happened
does anyone know if you're allowed to apply to multiple offices or just one?
Take a look at their webpage. They exclusively said it
Would Centerview accelerate you if you are not in H?
I go to a target for Centerview - should I be submitting an application online or wait until they post on my career center?
from target just got superday
what office?
nyc
are you diversity? also which target if you don't mind answering?
did you have a first round or just coffee chat?
coffee chat to superday
damn congrats on the superday - have you heard back from the superday?
did u also have an interview?
any idea on timelines for SF/PA? I’m non-diversity and go to an ivy. I get might have missed the boat on these but any insight would be greatly appreciated
Was told August was when to reach out again after I reached out a month ago
Same
When you all reached out to people, was it people you guys had some connection to like alumni or would cold emailing be fine if my school isn't that represented?
Is the application just the general application on their website?
Bump
yeah that's all I used last year to apply
When would be a good time to apply?
Anybody know how receptive CVP is to non-targets?
Hopefully very
School just posted apps on handshake with interviews mid Sept
is it for target (HYP)
If they don't recruit on-campus for my school (non-target), do I just apply on website?
U got another choice bro?
You made my fucking day
They’ve already recruited for SF/PA positions at most higher target schools (ivys/ross/stern/haas). NYC recruiting is in the fall, typically later September
is this for SF/PA diversity that happened in May? Do you know how many they hired? I thought they only did diversity recruiting in SF/PA for the West Coast schools, I go to Berkeley and it was advertised here.
Can confirm this. Close contact said exclusive early diversity event happening next week or so then Fall recruiting. Accelerated track maybe available
Anyone know if they typically do FT hiring in the fall?
Anyone attended diversity event last week?
I did. Should we expect to hear by firm by any mean? It didn't seem related to recruiting process to be honest.
think it is somewhat related according to my contact
Any insight on London? I know that there's a form on the main website, but do individual targets (i.e. Oxford, Cambridge) usually get their own sign-ups too like for NY, and if so, in what kind of timeframe?
Is PA (tech) done for 2021 SA?
A source has told me it's not done yet
which offices are recruiting for FT?
NYC is essentially full for FT
Any updates on timeline for SA NYC?
Are they still recruiting for SA?
Also interested
Was just told that first rounds should come out in the next 2-3 weeks and then superday at the end of Sept
Second this, just heard that we should hear in the next couple weeks on first rounds, and then superdays at the end of the month!
Are they going to do Campus Recruitment this month or are they done already?
Was told Superday is on 9/27 and the first rounds should be going out in a week and a half - 2 weeks.
Can confirm, altho my school is straight to superdays
Is this specifically for your school, or is it across the board. Didn't know banks had separate processes for different schools lol
ah ok, doesn't say that on my school's handshake posting - guess it must be like that for you.
I have a first round coming up this week. I think they are doing it by target school. Then, they might have a pool of other schools as well.
How do you know they are doing it by target schools?
.
nope, still waiting. good gpa, internships, and networked
When did Penn's apps close? I go to a state target school, and our apps closed around Midnight on Monday.
Have you guys heard anything yet? I applied yesterday right before the deadline lol and under my "Applications" section I have one for "interview: Centerview" where it says "Reviewed"... so like lol did I already get dinged
Our school's apps were due on Monday, and they reviewed my App yesterday on Handshake. I think they are doing it by school.
any updates for palo alto?
Bump. Also wondering what the timeline looks like for PA
First round here as well from non target
Did you network?
yes
When they say the program is generalist, does that mean that you do both Rx and m&a?
I think staffing is based on your preference. You can do both Rx and M&A if you want to, but since Rx is pretty Niche and the focus is M&A, you're pretty much guaranteed to do M&A. The shop in broad terms is generalist and there aren't any industry specific teams - more like partners focused on specific industries. Your industry preference influences your staffing. Source: Analysts at Centerview.
What are the strongest industries?
Strongest industries are probably healthcare, consumer, and tech, but they crush it in general.
Do u think it would make sense to talk about the generalist program in an interview in reference to generalist across m&a, or exposure to both rx and m&a?
Do you know much about the West coast offices
I had my first round yesterday. Anyone know how long until we hear back? I def tripped on a couple of the technicals, but I'm not sure if that's an auto ding or not
What sort of technicals did you get asked?
You hear back yet and if so how recent afterwards? Had one this week too.
Anyone else have a first round yet? How was it
fucking annihilated it. will say technically there is no way in hell you can prepare
How can you not prepare? What were the questions like?
Has anyone who has superdayed already with the firm still in this thread? I was given an invite and am not sure how best to prepare, because I know they do it differently at Centerview. I pretty much understand the M&I 400 Qs, but outside of that are there other things we should practice?
is this for NY?
Did you have the first round? I heard some schools are straight to superday.
Yes, it's for NY.
Are SDs going out still?
just got a 1r from penn
In Handshake or via email?
Are First rounds still going out?
Any updates on SF/PA?
First round this week and next. Superday is last week of Sept
how long was your first round? did somewhat of an informal one last week
Anyone from USC on here get a first yet?
NYC, people recruited us 2 weeks back through one of the clubs as well (I guess that's OCR) but I haven't heard of anyone getting a first yet so I don't know what their process is honestly for us. Maybe straight superday? think some people mentioned on here that some schools get straight superday but don't know why we would ever have a straight over some other targets - Ping here if you here hear anything
any update on SF or LA?
Anyone who completed first round get a SD?
