Goldman Sachs 2017 Pride Summit/Undergraduate Camp Thread
The applications for the Pride Summit and the Undergraduate Camp went up today. I just applied and notified my contact in HCM. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis but communications will not be sent out until the deadline has passed.
Updates
**If you received an invite for the Pride Summit, please PM financewhizkid to be added to the GroupMe. Looking forward to meeting everyone there.
1/ I received an invitation for the Pride Summit in NY. Congrats to everyone who got invited! 2/ Just received an invite to do the video interview - will update more as the process moves along. 3/ The first wave of invites will be "triggered by tomorrow(Tuesday)" according to my contact in HCM. Thread will be updated once I receive an Invite. 4/ Invites for the HireVue video submissions will be sent out within two weeks of registering. Not sure if everyone gets an invite or if candidates are hand picked. I will reach out to my HCM contact to get confirmation and provide an update. Stay tuned and Good luck!
Do I have to be a URM to apply (and be admitted) to these programs?
Yes. You will have to answer a questionnaire regarding your eligibility.
are women considered minorities for the undergraduate camp?
Are these like 3 day program at GS for URMs?
According to my contact, "Most diversity programs are two days"
Ah got you, I see you can apply for the scholarship for up to 15k and an offer for a summer internship, would that be for summer '17 or '18?
@VanillaRice" Can anyone please send me the link to register for the GS undergraduate camp? I have created an account on the website but once I go to the events page I just see a bunch of events without any links or register buttons to follow on from that.
It's not possible to provide a link - the title of the program in the platform is "2017 UNDERGRADUATE CAMP". Let me know if you are able to find it under the "EVENTS" tab.
Does everyone get invited for a Hirevue interview or just hand-selected applicants?
Got nothing on that. Bump.
Not every applicant will receive the invite to do a HireVue interview.
Does anyone else have finals during the same days as the event lol?
How was the HireVue interview? What questions did they ask?
what is the task you have to do within 48 hours of applying?
They want you to fill out a survey w/ a couple questions about you and what group your interested in.
Ah interesting. Did you get hirevue invites for UG Camp? Are they basically using hirevue to weed out who they want to invite to the actual event?
How competitive is getting into the Pride Summit do you know?
I'm curious about this too. Once you do the Hirevue do they cut a significant number of people after that?
There are SIGNIFICANTLY less people that are LGBT than minorities so I'd say you have a decent shot. Especially if you go to an ivy.
I don't go to an ivy I go to Ohio State. Do you think that matters a lot?
Did anyone else apply to the engineering one?
So is this only available for homosexuals and others or all minorities
LGBT, Women, Minorities, etc.
I'm confused because usually the term "Pride" is synonymous with LGBT. Don't want to apply and end up in a tight spot being assumed to be gay
I am a freshman at a non-target school. I spoke with an alum from my school who is a VP with Goldman in a BO role in NYC; he said that not every applicant will receive a HireVue invite. I applied to Undergraduate Camp about two weeks ago and received an invite to do a HireVue invite two days after I submitted the application.
Do you think we'll get a response before March 1st?
According to HR, you will hear back "Within 4 weeks of the application deadline for the opportunit(y/ies) to which you’re applying! "
Soo word is that the girls got their hirevue question before hand, did any one else get this?
Everyone gets the question emailed to them ahead of time.
What in the hell, I absolutely did not get that question...
Has anyone heard back after the HireVue interview?
I haven't heard a thing. I think we'll hear back after next week.
That's a relief. I haven't heard back as well. Best wishes to everyone!
Anyone hear anything?
yeah i just got an email acceptance today for the women's leadership camp. Anyone know if we're allowed to attend only 1 of the 2 days; i have a few other immutable commitments....
congrats! btw, do you know if attending the event is also a pipeline for SA interviews next year?
Has anyone received acceptance to the pride summit?
I have not yet.
Okay, I'm a bit worried but I hope we'll get it soon
Anyone get accepted to the undergraduate camp (for URMs) yet?
just got an invite to the women's leadership camp. Not sure how that happened BC I don't have any contacts at GS and go to a non-target
.
NYC!
So I submitted my initial application for the Undergrad Camp (for URM's) on February 26th, and at that point my HCM contact said I should receive notification for my video assessment within a week, but I still haven't heard anything about it. After a follow-up email with her today, she said I'll hear back 2 weeks after the application deadline of April 1st, which is a bit confusing. Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Same situation here. I might send an email and check on it.
hey! @zsdvnm1" did you attend the summit? did you get accelerated interviews because of it? is it worth attending or no? thanks!
I just got accepted for the Pride Summit!
Hey!! same here! so excited
Same I also got invited to Morgan Stanley's Insight Day for LGBT
when did you hear back from Morgan Stanley?
Same here! Ahhh! I go to a non target so this is exciting!
Does anyone know if the event also includes a first round interview this year?
bump
Has Morgan Stanley or Goldman sent out invites to their ethnic diversity events yet?
Whoever got accepted to the Goldman Sachs Pride Summit, we should make a groupme. PM me if you want to join the groupme.
If we didn't get an email about the Pride Summit yet does that mean that we didn't get in?
I'd say wait for it since some people that are applying for Women's conference get the notification a bit later
I got invite to Pride summit - Let me know the details of the GroupMe and i will add it to the post for more visibility.
Saw your PM and would love to join the groupme. Just made this WSO account tho so I'm not allowed to send PM's back for 2 days or some shit. Could you PM me your Groupme name and I'll add you?
Anyone hear back about the Undergraduate Camp? Because I haven't even gotten the video interview request yet.
You won't hear back about the undergraduate camp till late April/early May
hey did you attend the UG Camp or Pride? I was wondering how you thought it was/if it is worth going? do you get accelerated interviews/ ability to network well and try to secure one?
thanks!
@NatGasSellSide"
I have also been accepted to the Pride Summit. Can anybody confirm the opportunity to interview for an internship for 2018 during this program?
Unfortunately, you will not get to interview for SA roles - this is just an opportunity to learn more about the firm. You can network while you are there and reach out to your contacts once recruiting starts.
Really? I actually just heard from an internal source of mine that going to the event gives you a huge leg up in the recruiting cycle; granted, that might not be equivalent to an SA interview, but... thought I'd mention it in case anyone is on the fence about attending as I had been.
^^Sorry I replied to the wrong comment, but this is in response to the women's leadership camp not being a pipeline for SA
Hi guys, I just got my video interview assignment for the Undergraduate Camp!
Is the hirevue 10 minutes or 2 minute? It says 10 minutes in the hirevue e-mail but 2 minutes in the e-mail where you get your question.
I am also confused about this. Does anyone know if the only question they ask is the question from the email? Or are they going to ask more than that?
It will be two minutes. They will only ask you the question from the email.
Hi! Just received my confirmation to attend the pride summit, are you in the NY area or coming in from somewhere else?
I am a sophomore at a non target and got into the Goldman Sachs women's leadership camp. Does anyone know if they're giving out interviews for summer analysts or is it a networking meet and greet at these events?
Has anyone officially received an invitation for the URM event? Submitted my Hirevue video on Thursday...
I have not.
Any news on the ethnically diverse event? Anyone get an official invite yet?
no chill bro
Anyone know what the questions on hirevue are? I got the email last night, it is due sunday night?????
I was at a GS event for freshman and sophomores this past Friday, and someone from HCM said that they would start considering the applications after the deadline (which I believe is tonight, 4/9), so kids might start hearing back a week and a half to two weeks after the deadline. I believe she was referring to the URM Cornerstone event.
i was there too
bump
anyone?
My question for the undergraduate camp hirevue interview was, " Describe an experience that has impacted who you are today" or something very similar.
Just received an automated thank-you for applying to the URM program (did my Hirevue several weeks ago), and the email said we'll receive an update regarding our candidacy by May 1st!
Thanks but I can read myself
No need to be rude he was clearly just updating the thread.
.
anyone hear back?
I received an email this morning
same! which location?
For which event?
Do we reply to the email, or do the action items on the GS Careers website?
I got the email and have booked my flight and stuff, but on the career website it still says under review? Is anyone else's like this?
Just got accepted to the event in Irving, Texas, which I'm pretty bummed about. Do you guys think it would even be worth it to go to Texas for this if I want to apply for 2018 SA IBD roles in NYC?
Anyone get accepted for NY?
Just got accepted for the NY event! Got the email at 11:10am
is it NYC or jersey city for you?
wondering the same thing. Don't remember jersey city as a location option when I applied... But apparently many SA superdays for NYC are held in Jersey City. They're 10 minutes away on a ferry ride
Jersey City
So it's probably safe to assume that if I haven't heard back yet then I probably got rejected huh? :/
I just got an email and was a rejection.
Darn, I'm sorry. I still haven't heard back yet, but I think we all know what that means...
Still says "under review" and havent gotten a rejection email... does anybody know if friday was the only day they sent acceptance emails?
I got a rejection email but was invited to the Virtual Insight Series. Does everyone that gets rejected get a invitation to the Virtual Insight Series ?
I think the Virtual Insight Series was sent to all students who applied for a diversity event then, as I was accepted to Pride Summit and also got an invite.
The RSVP date was yesterday, so maybe they're keeping a few applicants on hold until they know exactly how many open spots are left?
Just got accepted to the undergraduate camp. Since you went to the pride summit, can you breakdown the process of the event and how to prep beforehand?
Congrats! When did you get your email?
Received acceptance Friday 4/28 and Travel & Expense Guidelines today 5/3
Same here.
Anyone know what we should expect from the program? And which location did everyone get?
If anyone going to the jersey city event wants to link up in a groupchat on groupme beforehand shoot me a message
Can you add me to the groupme? I am going to this event as well!!
Hey guys, I got accepted to the NYC event. I'm a little confused. When booking the flight, what destination did you choose out of all the NYC airports?
I guess Newark would be the most practical considering it's in Jersey and that's where your hotel would be.
Thanks! I did a quick research on google and booked the flight on friday.
Has anyone got the American Express Card yet?
