Thought I'd make a thread for those who got accepted to Citi EID 2021. Just received an acceptance without networking. I'm wondering from past participants how much this program actually helps for SA recruiting, and if it results in an interview or not?

Also got in would be happy to connect. Wondering the same thing
I'll pm you
.
I got in as well, but it seems like there isnt many of us
How do you know how many got in?
I dont.. but if a bunch of people here got accepted they would be posting about it, just like people do on GS exploratory programs. Even looking at the OG posts there were a bunch of people, and now there gone.
Yea, makes sense. I got into the GS exploratory thing too but it doesn't seem much more than a virtual zoom session thing. I think the Citi EID is more serious, meaning they're more likely to interview the Citi EID candidates.
Anyways, in Citi EID you're paired up with a banker for 5 weeks, who spends a few hours per week with you (according to upperclassmen who did the program last year). Thus, they obviously don't want to waste bankers' time, so they can only pick a few people for the program unlike GS exploratory which is just some zoom sessions.
Did Early ID, start prepping everyone cause you’re about 6-7 weeks from a super day if you play your cards right
Dang, I'mma grind as much as possible then. Do they ask easier questions since it's earlier? And any tips on "how to play your cards right"?
From my experience bulge bracket banks have a pretty structured interview process at the undergraduate level so everyone tends to get the same questions, study up technicals / deals etc - use the mentor as guidance to questions you have, insight on the bank and as a first impression - they decide if you get an interview to HR and can usually give you good heads up for what to expect in interviews
Also got in BCMA CM
When did you hear back?
Today
What does CM stand for?
Capital Markets
Are they still sending out decisions today? Should I assumed rejected if my application is still under review?
Wondering the same here. Networked a fair bit and thought my resume was pretty good. Anyone have some insight?
They send out all decisions for one region at the same time, so I know that all of Houston came out yesterday since that's what I got in, and I think NY came out today, so if you're in another location you might still have a chance.
When is the first round?
Next week for me, and superday following week if i move on, but I'm a regional office so idk about NY
Believe NY is on the same timeline. 1st rounds next week, super days week after
Anyone hear updates on first rounds (IBD) Haven't heard anything
I got a first-round invite yesterday, all first rounds are next week and superday the week after. Also did your mentor tell you if he was recommending you or not? It's based on that
NYC IB? Got email saying expect to hear by March 19. Havent heard anything yet.
Heard back yet?
Has anyone heard back about Capital Markets NY?
Has anyone received an SD invite?
Yep.
How long after your interview with you get the super day invite?
Has anybody heard back after a first round?
Haven't heard anything yet — first round was on Friday
Anyone hear back after 1st round? (NY IB)
Did anyone else just receive an email to fill out a “pre-offer form” with typical compliance questions without having a super day yet? NY IB
Did you get a superday invite?
No just the form. Talked to someone at the firm they said they didn’t hear of any going out yet for ib. Did you get the form?
Anyone in S&T who had a superday hear back yet?
Just got a call from my mentor extending an SA offer!
Congrats!
Congratulations!
