Evercore opened their SA 2021 applications weeks ago and on their online portal it says they will be closing them in May, with interviews commencing in April.
For SA 2020 they didn't open their applications until much closer to the summer. I'm pretty concerned about there hyper-accelerated timelines. What are chances of getting in as a non-target? The profiles I see on linkedin are literally all target schools (think HYP, columbia, uchicago, cornell). I'm trying really hard to network a lot with the firm and hope for the best.
I wanna know everyone's takes on this accelerated recruiting process for SA 2021.
Just wanted to throw in a word of motivation - if things don't work out it's certainly not the end of the world. You've always got a shot at FT recruiting (start thinking about doing some light networking right before your junior summer) and if not there is definitely a place that will make you just as happy. Banking isn't everything, but best of luck regardless!
My contact said non-core would be post-4/30 and she's pretty trustworthy (sitting on a target school's recruiting team).
Non-target here with tons of networking at the firm and still haven't even gotten a first round yet... Is anyone else in the same boat? We can worry together haha
