Based on previous WSO threads, it's not uncommon for applicants to experience delays in hearing back from Morgan Stanley regarding sophomore internships. For instance, in a similar situation, a user mentioned applying for the 2023 Sophomore Investment Banking internship and only receiving a HireVue interview after a month, with no further updates for some time.

Here are a few steps you might consider:

  1. Follow Up: Reach out to the recruiter or contact person who provided the referral. A polite follow-up email can sometimes expedite the process or at least provide you with an update on your application status.
  2. Networking: Continue networking with individuals at Morgan Stanley. Sometimes, additional internal referrals or recommendations can help move your application along.
  3. Patience: Understand that the recruitment process can be lengthy, especially for large firms like Morgan Stanley. It’s possible that they are still in the process of reviewing applications.

If you need more specific advice or have further questions, feel free to ask!
