You're welcome.
Believe offers are out.
As of today?
Last night. Maybe 18th is to accommodate guys on-deck if someone turns down first rounds of offers.
Was on the decision team. We finalized names yesterday, not sure if Hr has sent them out yet. It was a tough year, congrats to everyone who got it. And to those who didn’t, don’t get beat down, your moment will come. Just gotta keep hustling.
If you don't mind me asking, what were the rough numbers? If you don't feel comfortable, perhaps a percentage of accepted folks?
I can't speak to the whole process as I'm only involved in one of the campus teams (applications are separated by target schools, and then non targets are grouped by region). For a target school we were looking at a bit less of a 5% acceptance rate. Not sure how that differs for non-target. What I've felt around the firm with talking with my fellow analysts is that networking does matter. A lot of high GPAs and comparable experiences, you gotta find other ways to differentiate and get your name across. A lot of 4.0 students unfortunately didn't make the cut.
Hi, thanks for the insight.
Just wondering if you have any insights for Guggenheim Freshman Program this year? Many thanks.
Can anyone confirm they’ve heard back?
Bumping this. Anyone hear back?
My guess is that you are on the short-list if you haven’t heard back yet. Like I said, probably on-deck if people turn down offers. RSVP to the program was supposed to be submitted by end of day yesterday.
I gotcha, thanks for the info! So did people who were automatically ruled out receive an email saying so? Either way, thanks for the heads up
No worries, and no idea man. I would like to think people who were a hard no were notified immediately… I really don’t know though. You should be asking the guy above! Haha good luck man
did anyone receive an email just now saying they can't accommodate anyone? Guess it's rejection even tho it wasn't explicitly stated
yea, just got the email as well.
I got the rejection email that didn't state a rejection outright. Worst written rejection letter that didn't say that I was denied.
haha yes I agree, the wording was so strange.
