Resume drop just ended at UT and students will be notified for first rounds in the next week or so. Most interviews will be in January and most offers will be made by the end of the month. It's pretty structured at most banks, with a week for UT interviews and another for Rice kids as well as northeastern targets and non targets. If you're planning on applying, I'd do so ASAP because selections are being made now.
I am a non-target working to get into Houston. Every bank I have spoken with has told me that first round will start up in January and that most spot will be filled soon there after.
Best of luck to all of us.
Alright, good to know! Seeing the NYC people getting offers made me a bit worried that the same was happening in Texas.
I hear you. I was a little concerned as well and checked in with a few contacts. We should be ok... waiting is killed though. :/
Has anyone heard so far?
SMU has the same week as Rice and UT in early January. All resumes have been dropped and some first round invites are out.
Interesting, thanks for the heads-up! Do you know which banks sent out 1st rounds?
JPM, Lazard, and Cowen
Every bank has given first rounds at UT/SMU/A&M
I've heard from JPM Dallas, but nothing from Lazard Houston. Anyone hear from Lazard yet?
JPM mid-cap (Dallas), RBC Houston, Wells Fargo Houston today. Cowen is for New York but is recruiting at SMU. JPM Houston and Lazard Houston as I previously said.
Thanks; updated
Heard from JPM, Simmons, Wells. Pretty sure CS and Barclays already gave out 1st rounders also.
I heard TPH is also giving out first round interviews, is that true?
Have heard back from Wells Fargo, JPM, Evercore, RBC and Credit Suisse in Houston, JPM Dallas, and Cowen (NY/SF). Waiting to hear from TPH, Citi, Lazard and Simmons in Houston and Houlihan Lokey Dallas.
Congrats! Updating the main post...
Also, for everyone who's already posted, do you go to a school with OCR/a target for the Texas offices, or are you applying from another region (like me)?
Anyone hear for 2nd round JPM dallas?
Had 1st round OCR with JPM Houston, haven't heard back yet. I think MS is reaching out to candidates soon as well as RBC.
Yeah, MS hasn't taken off too much (though the Chicago process was pretty much over by December, ironically). Looking forward to RBC!
Good luck with JPM!
