Does anyone know if this program is of any actual value in terms of networking or getting in with the firm? Not sure if being 'accepted' is in this regard is the same as being accepted to an email list for a retailer. Are you just one of 500,000 people on a webinar? I'd like to think based on all the info they wanted they have at least narrowed it down to people they would be interested in to some extent.

Wondering the same. But then again, they asked for info such as resume and school attended so I'm assuming there's some filtering there. I also emailed the team earlier cause I hadn't received any update on the registration status and was told that the selected participants will be notified by the end of the week. That statement further reinforces the idea that there is a selection process. I could be wrong though.

People may still be getting added since I only got on late last night, but I'm seeing 240 people (96 in the Americas region). There is a recruiter for each region I believe, so potentially a reasonably small group. My first day in IB is the same as the program start date so hopefully the live sessions aren't the only way to get on the radar (unlikely to be able to join them).
I'm in the program as well. Seems that one of the only good things is being able to network with recruiters once a week for 5 weeks.
not sure but I was cringing my nuts off when I saw a non-target diversity kid post on linkedin that they’d been accepted
Classic. We basically work there now so...
I wish I could share the awful LinkedIn bio I saw the other day. Currently an investment banker - in a back office retail wealth management sense. Invented finance basically.
It’s a very prestigious program from what I can tell.
From what I have seen they take about 1000 people across all regions.
Did the program help at all? Did any of you get to interview after?
