Starting a thread for this as apps go out. Anyone know how many people they typically take? Post timeline updates here etc.
If you applied, did you just get an email for the "Reaching your potential in interviews"?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems like you're asking about the dbAchieve 2024 program and the number of people they typically accept. Unfortunately, I don't have specific numbers on that. However, I can tell you that these programs can be quite competitive, so it's important to make your application stand out.
As for the "Reaching your potential in interviews" email, it's not uncommon for companies to send out resources or invitations to workshops after you've applied. It's a way for them to provide applicants with additional support and resources during the recruitment process. If you've received such an email, it could be a good opportunity to learn more about the interview process and how to excel in it.
Remember, persistence is key in these processes. Keep networking, keep learning, and don't get discouraged by the competition. You've got this!

Just applied yesterday. I go to a small LAC thats a target school for DB. They generally take only one girl.
I did FIC dbAchieve for the summer of 2023 and there were 13 students in our class. Similar numbers for corp fin. Corp banking was a smaller amount, I think there were only 3 students. But in the past years they've had 16-20 students / class (for FIC and CF), they reduced the numbers in 2023. I would expect likely around 40-50 for first round interviews, maybe half that for superday.
do you need to network for this?
Nah u just gotta have a pussy or be geh as fu**
CorpFin took 16 last year and the year before. About 30 did the Super
Has anyone heard anything
…
Congrats!! thats awesome. i still have not heard anything. When was that call? weren't the applications just due.. i didn't think they'd release interviews so soon
also interesting that the call was with a vp for the first round.intimidating
To anyone who applied and is reading this and worried… this is probably one off or an informative interview. All first round interviews were in the same week last year in mid January and they sent everyone the email on the same day. As far as i heard most interviews were with associates
just received an email about a superday for the wealth management program at NY. has anyone else heard back from other programs yet?
