London 2024 SA screening rejections despite 2 summer internships
Title
I have completed 2 summer internships in banking, one of them being a formal penultimate-year summer internship in 2023 and the other in the summer of 2022.
Decided to do an exchange year which extended my graduation date by 1 year so I am now applying to 2024 summer internships. (see my only other post)
Getting rejected before receiving a HV in many cases, MS, SocGen etc., did not happen to me last year. I even appealed to BofA who then reverted their pre-HV rejection and moved me forward to a HV, though this happened to a few people (unsure whether they followed up or if my follow-up prompted a batch review). (appealed one other pre-HV rejection to no avail so far).
Needless to say I am acing most OTs (using some banks as practice for others), good written questions etc., also target university, unique extracurriculars, fluent in multiple european languages etc..
Quite confused and would appreciate some insight on 2024 SA recruiting from anyone in working in London.
Thanks.
Could it be because your applying for summer roles as a final year?
I am a penultimate-year again since the exchange year extended my graduation by 1 year.
Also making sure that my graduation shows as 2025 on all my applications.
MS is understandable but SocGen send out HV’s if you do well on the tests so you may have messed the test up
guessing a mess-up on SG = not getting 100%, did use it as prac tbf
not sure what else you need for MS though i literally cannot do more for my profile unless theyre expecting part time work exp during degree, talking screening dings here not TI rejections which would be understandable imo
MS is quite random , I applied to three and got dinged on two but got the HV and TI for the other
Which one called you if i can ask? Im in the same situation
