Morgan Stanley Sophomore Investment Banking Summer Analyst Program 2015

I haven't

Have you all had first rounds for this program? Or does it go directly to a super day?

I only applied this week. I have no idea what the process is

I think that it goes directly to superday. I was honestly just curious to hear if anyone had heard anything...

I'm sure it's straight to superday like the other banks' sophomore programs.

I think the superday last year was really late (end of Feb) which is surprising. I'm sure a lot of really qualified kids have signed elsewhere by that point (know quite a few talented sophs at my target that have already committed to GS/Citi/Barclays).

@MBBorBust ; my thoughts exactly. I have an offer from two of those firms you mentioned but prefer MS.

Hey Coste, what has been your experience with interviews for these kind of programs?

It's very dependent on the firm, to be honest.

During one superday I had it was all behavioral, but the interviewers were really looking for sophomores genuinely interested in finance and not just checking a box.

At another there was a good technical portion to the interview that even included a brain teaser.

You shouldn't prepare by reading IB guides, but knowledge of the industry/work is important.

Haven't heard back either. I just emailed my recruiting contact to see when decisions regarding next rounds would be.

I prefer MS as well, but the wait is excruciating.

Are any other firms still even accepting sophomore apps at this point?

@newbie16 Did you already have a phone interview for the Morgan Stanley Sophomore IB Program?

Resumes are still being reviewed for this program. Talked to HR a couple of times this past week. No clue when the process is finished.

Yeah, concur with Coste. I reached out to the person who referred me and they said resume reviews are still in progress.

Im confused can any sophomore apply for this?? It says that its targeted for women, LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered) and those from Black or Hispanic descent?

@BigApeMike718 ; This specific internship is for members of those groups, yes. It's not open to other candidates.

You can apply and get selected if you are outside of those groups; however it is incredibly unlikely unless you are incredibly connected (MD's kids etc.). I do know someone outside of those groups from my school who did participate in the program in a previous year, but he was not a typical candidate (4.0 GPA, Pres. of Investment Club, Varsity sports, etc).

whoa...I'm nervous. Sounds like there's a lot of applicants if resume reviews are taking this long

I believe superday interviews were last Thursday.

Has anyone heard back?

bump -did anyone hear back from them?

Freshmen haven't heard anything yet either. This is getting pretty weird.
