Any rising sophomores applying? I know they have a specific sophomore 2019 app but that may just be for diversity (I applied anyway). Not sure if it would be a good idea to apply to this when I already applied to all the sophomore 2019 apps including S&T, IBD, cap markets?

 

I applied to three programs (the max). Diversify = Better Chances for Success. Don't put all your eggs in one basket and that includes BBs too.

 

Does anyone know when apps close? asking because I'm in the middle of applying to a target business school and won't find out for a week or so

Just got the hirevue. I guess no one is gonna do it until someone post what the questions are?

Hm... I’ll do mine in a few days and post the questions afterwards (if someone doesn’t beat me to it first).

 

A friend did the hirevue and he said there were 2 questions. A question regarding a current transaction in the market and a behavioral regarding ethics.

 

I got an email from MS NY recruiting saying that I have been "referred to Morgan Stanley". Anyone know anything about the MS's referral system? (i.e auto first round or?).

PS: I'm from a west coast school (think Stanford, UCB, etc.), so non-core.

 

How soon after submitting the application have you guys been receiving the HireVue? I go to a target school and submitted on Monday, but I haven't received anything yet so I'm getting a bit worried...

 

I think so, because offers are given out on a rolling basis, so the later you do it, the lower the amount of spaces available. Thats what I think though, correct me if im wrong

 

MS HireVue:

I just recently recorded the HireVues for MS and from what I've read in here and what I just saw, there are no set questions. I received one questions asking "Talk about a time when you thought something wasn't right and how you approached the problem and found a solution," and one asking "Talk about a recent transaction that has interested you."

Aside from that, you have two attempts at each question, and more than 2 minutes in between your first and second attempt to think about your answer.

 

Talked to an MS Vice Chair from my town yea bish i got that fat CV push - they're gonna start phone screens at the end of this month, superdays in august and july

 

Anyone else get an invite to a Super Day yet? I'm a girl and don't own the slightest bit of Wall Street attire. If it were my decision I'd wear some ripped jeans and birks lol....lmk if anyone has any tips.

 

lol they'd probably tell me to leave if i showed up like that. and i did the hirevue a couple days ago and then got the inv, was not expecting it at all

 

I have not heard back from them either. I sent my application Thursday last week, and have not gotten a HireVue yet. Are the hirevues going out in waves as mentioned above or what is the deal? I applied to Fixed Income and Research

My Brother. My Captain. My King.
 

One of the questions for Fixed Income: 1. Why do you want to pursue a career in Fixed Income Sales and Trading?

and I believe the other one was "what is something that you noticed was wrong and how did you approach the situation?" or something like that.

I did three Hirevues back to back, so I am a little shaky on the second question for Fixed Income.

 

Thank you! It has officially been 5 business days since I applied so I am worried that I didnt go through the first screening. Someone mentioned HireVues are coming out in waves so hopefully I will get a HireVue with the next wave.

I applied to IB and got the hirevue a few days after. Did the hirevue a week ago. Recently applied for Capital Markets and received hirevues 2 days later as well. Wondering what the questions are for Capital Markets?

 

Has anybody done the hirevue for emerging markets or Global sales yet? I got the email about the hirevue for emerging makets but am still waiting for the ones for global sales and fixed income. I applied to those 2 today though so I should get them in the next couple of days hopefully.

 

I did 3 hirevues, FI, Emerging Markets, and institutional sales and got the same questions for all of them. They were just "why do you want a career in xxxxx field" and some variation of when you solved a problem in a group. the 2 variations I got were "A time you had to convince a group to do something" and "a time where you solved a problem". Pretty simple questions in my opinion/

 

Just submitted my HireVue today, have you heard anything back yet or have a timeline on when we will get a superday invite? Hope yours went well and you get a spot!
