Based on the highest ranked content on WSO, discussions around Goldman Sachs Summer Analyst (SA) positions, including applications, interviews, and superdays, are quite common and highly sought after for insights and advice. While there isn't a specific thread for Goldman SA 2025 in the context provided, the approach to starting such a thread aligns with the general pattern observed in forums for previous years, such as the Goldman Sachs 2020 SA thread.

When starting a thread for Goldman SA 2025, consider including the following elements to foster a productive discussion:

  1. Application Process: Share any updates or insights on the application process for the Goldman SA 2025 positions. This could include deadlines, required materials, and any changes from previous years.

  2. First Round Interviews: As applications progress, sharing experiences and tips on first-round interviews can be incredibly valuable. Discuss the format (e.g., HireVue, phone interviews), types of questions asked, and how to best prepare.

  3. Superdays: For those who advance to the superday stage, detailed accounts of the experience, the structure of the day, the interview panels, and the types of questions asked can provide crucial insights for others.

  4. Networking Tips: Given the importance of networking in landing a SA position, sharing strategies for reaching out to alumni, current employees, and recruiters can be beneficial.

  5. Preparation Resources: Recommend resources for interview preparation, such as WSO's Investment Banking Interview Prep, which could be highly relevant for those targeting Goldman Sachs.

  6. Updates and Results: Encourage participants to share their application status updates and, eventually, their results, whether offers were extended or not. This can help in understanding the timeline and selection criteria.

Remember, the goal of such a thread is to support each other through the application process, share insights, and increase the chances of success for all participants.

I don't think people really look at them? I've been told by bankers that intern resumes probably get looked at for like three seconds (could be hyperbole but it seemed like they really meant three seconds) so I imagine most bankers do not look at cover letters either.

 

Yes - Goldman only hires the best of the best (ie those who apply first day). 

That was a joke if you didn't catch it. Obviously you aren't cooked, do you really think they fill the entire class with only those of whom apply on day 1?

 

Does anyone know how long it typically takes after HireVues for Superday invites to be sent out?

 

Does the HireVue matter a lot for Goldman? Mine was alright, definitely could have been better. But I have networked really well, and have some solid contacts. Would I get dinged for a non-perfect HireVue or could the networking overrule that? 

 

Please re-read my comment. I clearly didn't ask whether it mattered or not, I was asking whether it was the sole factor in determining whether one gets an SD or not, given that I have networked extensively. Comprehension is a key skill!
