Well, I know they give offers to roughly 70% of the summer class, and about 70% of those accept the offers. So, that leaves 50% of the class empty that needs to be refilled during full time hiring.

While it's true that you'll have to compete with people who interned at other banks who are trying to upgrade to Goldman, from what I've seen, people who intern at Morgan Stanley/Blackstone/Greenhill/Lazard/Evercore don't bother interviewing with Goldman for full-time. So you'll primarily be competing with people from Citi/CS/JPM etc. and thus everyone will be on the same playing field. That said, though, a bunch of people who intern at Citi/CS/JPM etc. just choose to accept their full-time offer and not bother trying to upgrade..why...because they really liked the place they interned at and have already built up the group's confidence in them (also because it's great to go back to senior year with your job plans all settled).

So, I think the competition for full-time positions is only slightly harder than for summer positions.

 

you are making the assumption (which is wrong) that the summer class and the full time class are the same size...

also there ease of getting an offer varies between regular full time recruiting and accelerated full time recruiting (which happens over the summer)

 

Of course it varies accoring to bank, but some banks have a "Bring A Friend" networking event or some other kind of event where they interview students who are working in NYC, usually at other BBs and MMs. I invited one my friends and he got an offer through that.
